No, adding turpentine to a tree's water is not beneficial and can be harmful. Turpentine is a solvent derived from pine resin, and it can damage the tree's cells and disrupt its physiological processes. Trees require clean water and nutrients to thrive, and introducing turpentine could lead to stress or even death. It’s important to use appropriate methods for tree care that support their health.
What else can I help you with?
Which is denser turpentine or water?
Water is more dense than turpentine, by about 10%.
Will turpentine float in water?
Yes, turpentine will float on water because it is less dense than water due to its lower weight.
Is turpentine thicker or thinner that water?
Turpentine is a hydrocarbon that is less dense than water, therefore given equivalent volumes it would be lighter.
Would turpentine settle to the bottom when mixed with water?
No. Turpentine does not sink in water. Like many oil based organic solvents, turpentine floats in pure water. Engineers and scientists use a measurement called Specific Gravity to measure how dense a liquid is in comparison to that of water. Pure turpentine has a Specific Gravity of 0.85(@25 deg Celsius). On the other hand, water has a specific gravity of 1.0. That means that turpentine at will eventually float to the top of a water bath.
Does turpentine expand?
Yes, turpentine does expand. In fact, it expands more than oil, water and benzene!
What keeps trees alive?
water, sun, carbon dioxide ,the planet,soil
What is the pH of turpentine?
Turpentine is a non-polar organic solvent and does not contain any acidic or basic components that would affect its pH. Therefore, turpentine does not have a pH value as it does not dissociate in water to release hydrogen ions. pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, and since turpentine is not a solution in water, it does not have a pH.
Why would a solvent like turpentine be better for removing grease and grime than water?
Turpentine is better for removing grease and grime than water because it is a solvent that can dissolve oil-based substances, which water cannot do effectively. Turpentine also evaporates quickly, leaving behind a clean surface.
How would you separate a mixture of water and turpentine?
get yourself a seperating funnel, pour the mixture into the funnel and wait for the mixture to seperate. You should see two distinct layers that seperated, where water will be "floating" on top of turpentine. You know what to do next.
Why does a painter removes paint from his hand using turpentine?
Turpentine is a spirit obtained by the distillation of resin obtained from live trees, mainly pines.It's commonly called turps, turps is a solvent and can help soften dried oil based paints, more turps would then be used to wipe the paint clean.Turps would not be used to remove water based paints.
Is iodine dissolve in turpentine?
No, iodine is not soluble in turpentine. Turpentine is a non-polar solvent, while iodine is a polar substance. To dissolve iodine, a polar solvent like alcohol or water is needed.
How are trees and alike?
They are both alive, both need the sun, both need nutrients and water.
