- 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 reaction occurs when one or more chemicals react to become different chemicals. A chemical reaction is characterized by the re-arrangement of atoms from the reactant side of the equation to the product side.
