What are three main factors to classify soil?
humus. (pronounced hugh-muss) sand, and clay
How do fertilizers affect the pH of the soil?
Effects Soil pH affects the amount of nutrients that are soluble in soil water and, therefore, the amount of nutrient available to plants. Some nutrients are more available under acid conditions while others are more available under alkaline conditions. However, most mineral nutrients are readily available to plants when soil pH is near neutral. The development of strongly acidic soils (pH less than 5.5) can result in poor plant growth as a result of one or more of the following factors: low pH, aluminum toxicity, manganese toxicity, calcium deficiency, magnesium deficiency, and low levels of essential plant nutrients such as phosphorus and molybdenum. ...MORE iron is more availeble in acidic soils of PH 5.5-6.5. lots of pottasium fertilizers like KCl can raise PH to 8-9 gypsum can be used to neutralize acidic soil black coffee leftovers can be used to acidify the soil
What is hydroxide ion concentration if pH 8?
To find the hydronium ion concentration from pH, set base 10 to the negative power of the pH. Here that corresponds to 10 to the power of -8.75 The answer is 0.000000002 or 2x10^-9 Although this response is correct in saying that concentration and pH are based on sets of base 10; however, it is incorrect in it's response. From pH--> [H30] -log(pH) From [H30]---> pH 10^(-pH)

A solution has 0.000001 moles of hydroxide ions per liter - what is the pH of the solution?
pH is 8
What is the pH of dandelion greens?
It depends on the acidity of the soil- dandelions tend to grow better in alkaline soils so I would say it would range from pH 6-8
What are the preferred pH levels in the soil for various plants?
The most common range of soil pH is 4 to 8 pH. If you are looking to grow Marijuana then aim for 8.5 please.

What substance would do the best job of cleaning pots and pans 7 2 4or 8?
it would be a substance with a pH of 13
What is the pH value of red cabbage?
Slightly acidic, 5<pH<8 , because at pH above 8 it would have been purple
How would you classify a polygon with 8 sides?
An 8-sided polygon is called an octagon.
How does alkaline pH effect plants?
Whether soil is alkaline or not and whether it helps the plants grow all depends on the type of plant. If the plant you were growing was, say, peas, then the alkaline soil would help it grow. If the soil was a pH of 6 to 7.5, then the peas would grow better. If you were growing white hydrangeas (a type of flower), then the pH of the soil would need to be 6.5 to 8 (slightly acidic to slightly alkaline). Again, the pH is different for all plants, and it could either be a positive effect or negative effect. I would suggest going to your local library to find a gardening book or simply going onto Google, Yahoo, Bing, or another search engine to find what your plant's suggested pH should be. I hope this helped.
Why might a farmer want to change the pH of the soil?
soil pH has a great effect on the availability of nutrients. for example iron is a thousand times move availeble to plants for each pH level lower so if you compare iron availability in soil that is pH 8 to one that is pH 6 iron will be 1,000,000 times more available in the acidic soil (pH6). however some plant do not like acidic soils mostly because other stuff is also affected by the pH like aluminum which is toxic to most plants beyond a certain level. of course pH has an effect on the soil flora and founa as well as other nutrients and soil diseases. so in varies situations farmers may wish to alter soil pH to one way or the other depending on the crop, weather, normal pH and many other factors.
What pH would a weak alkali have?
8-11
In which type of soil does sugarcane grow in?
Sugarcane is grown in subtropical areas.
What pH would enzyme be most effective?
Between 8 and 10
Do strong bases have a pH below 7?
No. Strong bases wold have a pH above 8 or 9. A pH of 13 would be a very strong base.
