What is the primary effect of excess phosphorus in the aquatic environment called?
The primary effect of excess phosphorus in the aquatic environment is called eutrophication. Phosphorus is one of several nutrients needed for plant growth. Excess amounts of nutrients however leads to excess plant growth and as these, at times huge amounts of plants die, oxygen is taken out of the water by bacteria during the decomposition process that can lead to eutrophic conditions where the dissolved oxygen is too low to support aquatic organisms.
What is the pH level of design essential hair relaxers?
Which of their relaxers are you asking abt? You're best bet is to contact them at 770-981-8722 for more information. They've been very helpful to me!
How is the ph level of a marijuana plant raised?
hydrated lime, hardwood ashes(woodburner coals) cottonseed meal
What are the PH levels in baking soda while cooking or baking ex. cookies and cakes?
PH is a measure of a compounds tendency to dissociate into hydrogen ions in water. The PH of a mixture such as cake or cookies would therefore depend on the moisture content of the cake or cookies and the amount of baking soda actually present in the mixture. However, due to the tendency of baking soda to produce less than ten to-the- minus-seven gram ions of hydrogen per liter of water, the PH would be at least 7 or more given that other components of the mixture were not acidic.
Bear in mind that the PH level in a mixture while baking may not be a good measure of how that PH will effect taste because saliva effects the concentration levels of the components.
It cant also blow up your hosue so be very careful okay
What pH should a tank have for Oscars?
6.5 to 8.3___________________
Oscars can be kept as said above in a wide range of PH, however they do best in a neutral PH as do most other South American Cichlids which Oscars are. (Neutral PH is 7.0)
Is the pH of baking soda the same as that of pH plus?
They both wil raise the pH in a pool, but they are two different chemicals for two different purposes. (You need both)
pH+ Sodium Carbonate - Raises pH in pool water
TA+ Sodium Bicarbonate - Raises total alkalinity in pool water
It is best to use both chemicals for their intended use.
TA keeps the pH from bouning up and down
pH keeps your eyes from burning and your heater and other pool items from self destructing.
I have seen pools with such a low pH that it will attack the vynal liner and cause it to wrinkle and shorten the life of it.
According to US FDA/CFSAN, the pH of lettuce is as follows: Lettuce 5.80 - 6.15 Lettuce, Boston 5.89 - 6.05 Lettuce, Iceberg 5.70 - 6.13 hope that'll help =)
Should clipping's be left on lawn?
Clippings can be left on yard if they are less than 2" long and you are cutting to height of 2.5" or more. If you remove all clippings be prepaired to fully fertilize and lime every year.
The pH level of yellow bananas is 5.0-5.29 & the pH of red bananas is 4.58-4.75.
Is baking soda safe to ingest as a PH balancer?
It will not harm you but you should mix it into a drink to avoid getting your stomach upset. It could neutralize your stomach acid and thereby give you some nausea and gas; but that's about it.
Also, you should know that some homemade lemonade would work just as well. Although lemonade is very acidic, the body turns it into a very alkaline substance. It does not matter on the PH of the product, but rather the PH that it turns to in the body. This is the same with most fruits and vegetables. I eat pineapple and drink lemonade a lot for this reason.
What is the pH level at which most fish die?
Different species require different pH levels and other parameters too. As a general rule most fish will survive a pH of around neutral pH7. Fish like Discus that require acid water around pH5.8 will obviously suffer if given water with a pH of 7.8 to live in and Malawi cichlids who like pH8 would do a similar thing if they are given water that would suit a Discus. Different species different pH requirements.
How do you raise the Ph in a salt water pool if soda ash only raises the alkalinity?
Soda ash raises both alkalinity and pH in fresh water; I would assume the same in salt.
Does a spicy chili affect pH level?
The perception of something "spicey" (in the food industry, how "spicey" something is, is measured in terms of the Scoville scale, which measures in terms of "heat units" and is commonly referred to as "heat"). Capsaicin is the main chemical in chili peppers, which give them their spicey character. The molecular formula, according to wikipedia, for capsaicin is (CH3)2CHCH=CH(CH2)4CONHCH2C6H3-4-(OH)-3-(OCH3) Acidity, or pH is governed by the presence (or absence of) positively charged hydrogen ions. With capsaicin, the chemical reaction is one of activating a pain receptor that mimics the sensation of burning or abrasion. My organic chemistry is hazy, but given the hydroxide group that forms off the main carbon ring, my supposition would be that the molecule should attract hydrogen ions, thus lowering the acidity of a system and raising the pH.
What colour does soil turn on with pH paper?
Depending on the type of soil, the value of pH and the type of pH paper.
For an acid soil the pH paper from Merck (art. 9565) this color will be probable green.
