- Soil acidification due to use of phosphorus fertilizers is small compared to that attributed to nitrogen, due to the lower amounts of this nutrient used and the lower acidification per kg phosphorus. Phosphoric acid is the most acidifying phosphorus fertilizer. - Potassium fertilizers have little or no effect on soil pH.
The factors that change the reaction rates of chemical reactions are: 1)temperature 2)concentration 3)pressure 4)physical state 5)a catalyst.
A chemical decomposition reaction or analysis reaction is one of the most common types of chemical reactions. In a decomposition reaction a compound is broken into smaller chemical species. In some cases, the reactant breaks into its component elements, but a decomposition may involve breakdown into any smaller molecules.
