Alkaline
humus. (pronounced hugh-muss) sand, and clay
The pOH of the solution would be 6. If you subtract the pOH from 14 (pH + pOH = 14), you would find that the pH of the solution is 8.
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
In earth sciences, 8 is commonly used to represent the pH scale, which measures the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. A pH of 8 indicates a substance is basic, or alkaline. This is important in studying things like soil composition, water quality, and chemical reactions in natural systems.
The eight properties of soil are texture, structure, color, porosity, permeability, moisture content, fertility, and pH level. These properties influence the ability of soil to support plant growth and determine its suitability for different land uses.
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
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.
it would be a substance with a pH of 13
An 8-sided polygon is called an octagon.
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.

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.
The pH of a solution can be calculated using the formula: pH = -log[H+]. Given the H+ concentration of 10^-8 M, the pH would be 8.
The amount of peat moss needed to lower the pH level of soil depends on the current pH level and the type of soil. Generally, a good starting point is to mix in 2 to 3 inches of peat moss into the top 6 to 8 inches of soil. It's important to test the pH level regularly and adjust the amount of peat moss as needed.
Sugarcane is grown in subtropical areas.
Slightly acidic, 5<pH<8 , because at pH above 8 it would have been purple
