Question
Chapter 29, Problem 9TYU
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect of acid precipitation on minerals present in soil.
Introduction:
Acid precipitation includes precipitation of any type of acidic components, such as nitric acid or sulfuric acid that is present in the environment in dry form and fall on the ground with rain, fog or snow. Acid precipitation has a pH of less than 5.6.

- Observation: I want to know what effect salt has on the growth of grass. So I measure out 3 equal-sized squares of grass out the back of the Green Building. The first square of lawn I water with 5 liters of pure water from a watering can every day. The second square of lawn I water with 5 liters of pure water with 2 grams of salt mixed in, every day. The third square of lawn I water with 5 liters of pure water with 4 grams of salt mixed in, every day. I measure the height of the grass after 14 days and note the following observations. The first square is green and 15 cm high. The second square is greeny-yellow and 6 cm high. The third square is yellowy-brown and looks dead and is only 2cm high. What could we infer about the effect salt has on the growth of grass?arrow_forwardWhy fine textured soil hold more water as compared to coarse textured soils?arrow_forwardThe loss of water from a plant by transpiration cools the leaf. Movement of water in transpiration requires both adhesion to the conducting walls and wood fibers of the plant and cohesion of the molecules to each other. A scientist wanted to increase the rate of transpiration of a crop species to extend its range into warmer climates. The scientist substituted a nonpolar solution with an atomic mass similar to that of water for hydrating the plants. What do you expect the scientist's data will indicate from this experiment? The rate of transpiration will be the same for both water and the nonpolar substance. Transpiration rates will fall to zero as nonpolar compounds do not have the properties necessary for adhesion and cohesion. Transpiration rates will increase as nonpolar compounds undergo adhesion and cohesion with wood fibers more readily than water. The rate of transpiration will be slightly lower with the nonpolar substance as the plant will not have evolved with the nonpolar…arrow_forward
- Scientific Inquiry - The Scientific Method 1) John wanted to test if light was necessary for green plants to make food. He obtained two identical potted plants, placed one in the light and one in the dark for seven days. He then tested each plant for starch to see if the plant made food. He noticed the plant in the light remained green and tested positive for starch whereas the plant in the dark did not. a) Identify these from the investigation Dependent variable Independent (manipulative or experimental) variable Control b) Write a hypothesis for the investigation c) Why was it necessary to obtain identical plants for the experiment? d) What are three important things you will consider when setting up an experiment to investigate a phenomenon? Explain why.arrow_forwardSCIENCE - WRITTEN WORK 4 Matching Type. Match column A with the correct answer in column B. Write only the letter of correct answer on a separate sheet of paper. COLUMN A 1. This is the cultivation of a single crop in large areas. Vast tracts of land are converted to rice farms, sugar farms, and coconut farms. 2. This is used by farmers to kill insect pests and weeds. 3. The continuous and uncontrolled use of this product may increase soil acidity, thus destroying soil structure. 4. This can include clearing the land for agriculture or grazing, or using the timber for fuel, construction, or manufacturing. 5. Farmers use plastic sheets as mulch to cover 50-70% of the soil and allow them to use drip irrigation systems to have better control over soil nutrients and moisture. 6. A huge amount of agricultural territory is used primarily as pasture for cattle and other livestock. 7. Antimicrobial resistant bacteria can move from farms to humans through food and airborne dust. _8. It is a…arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about soil is true? (a) pore spaces are always filled with about 50% air and 50% water (b) a single teaspoon of fertile agricultural soil may contain up to several hundred living microorganisms(c) the texture of a soil is determined by the soil’s pH (d) a soil’s organic matter includes litter, droppings, and the dead remains of plants, animals, and microorganisms (e) soil formation is unaffected by a region’s climate or topographyarrow_forward
