- 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.
Thus, the tendency of a spontaneous reaction to give off energy can't be the only driving force behind a chemical reaction. There must be another factor that helps determine whether a reaction is spontaneous. This factor, known as entropy, is a measure of the disorder of the system. Entropy as a Measure of Disorder.
