Their growth is stunted, the plants are weak, plant death could occur.

Potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus are necessary for groth repair and photosynthesis. Without these minerals the plant will not be able to photosynthesize and eventually DIE!

What will happen if you will add hot water to liquid nitrogen?

It depends on how much water, how hot it is, and how much liquid nitrogen there is. The water will initially cause the liquid nitrogen to boil; if there's enough water and it's hot enough, it may make the nitrogen boil explosively. However, if there's enough nitrogen, it will eventually freeze the water.


What would happen to a plant if it didn't get Phosphorous?

Phosphorus is one of the 16-17 nutrients that are necessary for healthy plants and soils. Artificial, commercial, conventional, synthetic fertilizers recognize the critical role of phosphorus in plant growth. For they are called N-P-K fertilizers, because of their emphasis on the proportions of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. A phosphorus deficiency shows up in a lack of overall good plant health. For example, plant growth may be stunted.


If you touch Nitrogen Gas what will happen?

Nothing will happen, nitrogen gas is inert and non toxic, 78% of the air we live in and breath is nitrogen.


What will happen if you take nitrogen from the air?

nothing will happen


Why do tomato plant leaves turn dark green and stems turn purple?

[1] As long as the leaves turn uniformly dark green and show no abnormal shaping, the tomato plant should be healthy. There's always a chance that the leaves will have the lushest green because they're where photosynthesis is being carried on. Proper amount of light plus proper chlorophyll show up as healthy green. The color also indicates that the plant's getting proper nutrient amounts, especially nitrogen. But if fruit doesn't develop, or if it develops too small, then the plant's getting too much nitrogen. [2] Purple stems may or may not indicate stress. Sometimes it's a sign of not enough phosphorus. Commercial fertilizers are ka NPK, for their emphasis on giving nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to the plant. Not enough phosphorus may mean exactly that. In that case, a fertilizer with a higher middle number [the P for phosphorus in NPK] or a superphosphate's the answer. Or there's enough of the nutrient. But the nutrient isn't being made available in the proper amounts to the plant. That can happen when air, soil and water temperatures are outside the plant's comfort range. So, for example, nutrients need to be in soluble form, to be taken in by plants. But they'll be more easily taken if when the water's lukewarm. [3] It always helps to have a soil analysis done by the local extension office. The analysis indicates what the soil has, what it doesn't have, and what to do about it.


What will happen without nitrogen?

To people, without nitrogen, their brains will burst (seriously). Same thing will happen to animals, and to plants, it will die.


What would happen to a patient hospitalized for cadiac problems who was mistakenly infused with potassium-enhanced intravenous solution meant for another patient?

Usually nothing bad would happen. Most people can regulate potassium well enough to take a large load of extra potassium without ill effect. If the person had kidney problems or for some other problems regulating potassium it could lead to high levels which can cause abnormal heart rhythms and even (rarely) death.


What would happen if the nitrogen level drops from 78 percent to 21 percent?

If the nitrogen leve ldropped in the air you mean? Well the nitrogen gas is fixed by a certain bacteria in the ground, it is sucked up by plants, we eat the plants, and the body uses it for necessary functions. So, if the Nitrogen level dropped in the air we would not have enough in our bodies.
