How do you predict the toxicity or unavailability to plants of several minerals, based on soil pH?
Answer)
Plants usually grows best when the ph of the soil is in between 5.5 and 6.5. This ph is considered good for plant growth as it is considered optimum for the availability of various nutrients required for plant growth.
If the ph of the soil in which plant grows gets below 5.5 then there is increase in the solubility of aluminum, iron and manganese which are considered toxic for the growth of plant. So, based on ph we can predict the toxicity of soil.
Hope this helps you !!!

Problem 1. Silver Nanoparticle Fate and Toxicity Several recent efforts to understand the potential risks of nanotechnology have focused on silver- containing nanoparticles, which are being used in consumer products to inactivate bacteria. In this problem, you will assess the aquatic toxicity of commercial silver nanoparticles. For simplicity, you can ignore ionic strength in this problem. You are given two water samples A and B. You put in each water sample 1 g/L of silver nanoparticles and allow the systems...

There are several arsenic minerals, two of which are claudetite (As2O3) and orpiment (As2S3). Write a balanced half-cell reaction between these two minerals, in an aqueous solution. Assume that the concentration of all aqueous species are equal to 10^-6. Plot the phase boundary between the two minerals on your Eh-pH diagram. And, comment on their stability fields with respect to the oxidation state of HS- and SO4^2-. Not sure to how to go about solving this. Any help would be...

Before planting her first tomato plants, Candy Chemist must prepare the soil for the optimum pH, which for tomatoes, is about 6.40. In her chemical cabinet, Candy finds 5.00 L bottles labeled 1.50 M club soda, 1.50 protos pion, and 1.50 M caustic soda. From her general chemistry studies, she knows club soda is simply carbonic acid (H2CO3), which is a diprotic acid with Ka1= 4.22x10-11. From her Greek, biology and chemistry, she knows that protos pion is first-fat acid,...
Carbon sequestration and plants: What aspects of plant biology could you change to make plants more effective at carbon capture? It is an equation so think about fixing carbon, and carbon banking both. What different types of crops fix more carbon? How can the agricultural system and the soil be managed differently to lock in more carbon?
