Determining the weight of 100 CDs depends on whether only the CDs are weighed or if the CDs have sleeves or jewel cases. A single CD by itself weighs about 0.58 ounces. Therefore, 100 CDs by themselves weigh 58 ounces.
Plants need nitrates to develop green leaves. Nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus are the three major nutrients plants need to grow successfully. In particular, nitrogen is responsible for foliage development. Plants use nitrogen in the form of nitrates, which is nitrogen mixed with oxygen. They usually absorb nitrates from the soil.
Nitrogen is part of the chlorophyll molecule, which gives plants their green color and is involved in creating food for the plant through photosynthesis. Lack of nitrogen shows up as general yellowing (chlorosis) of the plant. Because nitrogen can move around in the plant, older growth often yellows more than the new growth. Phosphorus is involved in the metabolic processes responsible for transferring energy from one point to another in the plant.
