What happens when there are too many nitrates and phosphates in a pond?
Nitrates and phosphates are fertilizers, and therefore if you have too much of them in a pond, it will become choked with an excessive growth of algae.
How urine can be used to improve soil condition?
Most types of urine contain nitrates and phosphates and can be use to feed plants and improve soil in a dilute form as the concentration of the urine is so high in the afor mentioned chemicals that it can be deadly to plants. But be careful as urine is acidic and may kill alkaline loving plants in the soil were the urine is used.
What is Nitrates and phosphates?
Nitrate ion is NO3- and phosphate ion is PO43-. Chemical compounds that contain these ions are known are nitrates and phosphates in general. For example: KNO3 is potassium nitrate K3PO4 is potassium phosphate.
What is the difference between iron 2 nitrate and iron 3 nitrate?
It's basically a difference in the electron shell arrangement of the central Iron atom. In Iron II Nitrate, Iron has a +2 charge (Fe2+) and in Iron III Nitrate, Iron has a +3 charge (Fe3+). So there are two nitrates attached to Iron II: Fe(NO3)2 and three nitrates attached to Iron III: Fe(NO3)3.They would both behave nearly identical in solutions since nitrates dissociate 100% but the Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions are useful in voltaic cells.
