While some plant species such as Azaleas demand an acid (pH below 6) soil most prefer a neutral pH.

Incorrect pH restricts growth and health by "locking up" essential nutrients.

Acid soil should be adjusted over a period of time with applications of lime.

A pH meter is essential for this as the soil needs to be re-tested between applications.

I use a Yates product, Acitone, to adjust Basic or Alkaline (pH over 7) soils.

Once again a little at a time with frequent testing produces the best results.

Soil watered with household "grey" water is very likely to become basic.

Is NH4OH acidic neutral or basic?

NH4I + H2O --> NH4OH + H+ + I-HI being a strong acid, remains almost wholly ionised as H+ & I- ionNH4OH being a weak base so you have some more H+ left therefore it is acidic solution. (problem: NH4OH is not an exsisting compound, most of it will react with the strong acid H+ and the remainig will be fully ionized into NH4+)Added:(problem solved: not using NH4OH as it is annon-exsisting compound)NH4I will completely dissolve in ammonium and iodide ions:NH4I --> I- + NH4+of which I- is neutral and NH4+ is quite a weak acid (pKa = 9.25). (The molar standard solution of NH4I will have pH approx. 4.6)


Why is the dishwasher not filling with water?

I figured out there was an air bubble in the line. I had to unhook it from the bottom of the dishwasher and let some water flow through and then reconnect. That solved the problem. Is the filter clear? is the tap turned on? is it connected correctly?


What steps must be performed before any stoichiometry problem is solved?

Step By Step on solving means breaking down a math problem. For example, if you need to find the square root of 12-3, you would need to do the first step and solve 12-3, then go to the next step of what you were asked.


What is wrong with my dishwasher when the Dishwasher soap dispenser open but soap not dissolved after wash cycle?

Check the holes in the wash arm. Some of the holes target the soap dispenser to release the detergent. Clear any debris that may clog the holes. Do not block the dispenser while loading.


What is the product of the reaction of 2-methylcyclohexanol under acidic conditions?

1. Add Al2O3 at 400 deg C to eliminate the -OH and form 1-methylcyclohexene 2. Add BH3 in THF, then H2O2 in OH- to add an -OH group to the less substituted carbon of the alkene mentioned above (hydroboration-oxidation is anti-Markovnikoff) 3. Add PCC in CH2Cl2 to form your ketone. I think. Came across this question myself and this is how i solved it. Not 100% sure if its correct though
