Some plants require acidic or basic soils to grow well.

in such cases, we will not correct the pH level of the soil

also plants like hydrangea get their colour from such acidic or basic soil

What would happen if ph5 was diluted by water?

The ph is a measure of the H+ve ion in the solution, the lesser the ph number means higher acidic the solution is where as the higher ph number means more of basic solution. If you add water to a solution with ph5 it will be introduced with more oh OH-ve ion which will make it first neutral(ph=7) or even basic in nature.


What is the use of listening and speaking comprehension?

Developing comprehension skills helps you to be. That's right, without comprehension skills you would be incapable of interacting with others on even the most basic level. You would be less capable of interaction than the most basic living organism.


What helps determine if a solution is a acid or basic?

If a solution have a higher concentration of H+ ions, then the solution is an acidic solution. If a solution has a higher concentration of OH- ions, then the solution is a basic solution. The above is an overly simplistic and inaccurate description. Actually it is only the concentration of a type of ion called pi-Hydronium or pH, which have the formula H2OH+. More pi-Hydronium ions (lower pH number) the solution is acidic, same number of pi-Hydronium ions as pure water (pH number exactly 7) the solution is neutral, fewer pi-Hydronium ions (higher pH number) the solution is basic. With solvents other than water, while H+ ions might be able to form, the solution cannot be acidic or basic as pi-Hydronium ions cannot form.


Why will water treatment not make sea water drinkable ur answer is bolucks?

Well, salt is acidic and does anyone know how to get salt out of water yet?? Of all the people living in such countries, would there even be enough water for the fish to still live?? It's often hot around the 'seas' and salt probably cools them off like salt cools off a horse or cow or even a small pet, like a hamster or gerbil maybe.....


Can an atomic bomb destroy an entire continent?

No. Even the most powerful thermonuclear weapons don't even come close to that. Even if it were possible to create such a weapon, using it would wipe out our entire species.

Is soap solution acidic or basic?

It depends on the type of soap used. Most traditional soaps are slightly basic (alkaline) with a pH above 7. However, some specialty soaps or detergents may be formulated to be more neutral or even slightly acidic.


Is toothpaste acidic basic or neutral?

i believe that depends on what toothpaste you use but most should be neutral or basic. acidic toothpaste would ruin you teeth. if your asking whether or not its harmful when swallowed then yes. any toothpaste can make you sick if you intentionally or even accidentally eat it.


What will most likely happen to an enzyme if it is placed in an environment that is too acidic or too basic?

If an enzyme is placed in an environment that is too acidic or too basic, its structure can be denatured, which means its active site will change shape and it will no longer be able to catalyze reactions effectively. This will decrease or even stop its enzymatic activity.


Is a soft drink acidic or basic?

Carbonated soft drinks are acidic, as they mostly contain small amounts of carbonic acid and even maybe phosphoric acid.


What is the basic building block for computer circuitry?

Integrated Circuit is not exactly correct. The circuit contains 100s and even 1000s of Transistors. The transistor is the basic building block.


Why sulphide ion in H2S are less in acidic medium then basic?

Because H2S is a weak acid (and HS- is an even weaker one) and the presense of a strong acid drives the equilibrium back the other way. By the way, the correct spelling is "sulfide." This is according to both IUPAC and the Royal Society of Chemistry, so even being a Brit doesn't excuse the ph.


What does the word based mean?
