In a flame test, potassium and its compounds emit a lilac color, which may be masked by the strong yellow emission of sodium if it is also present. Cobalt glass can be used to filter out the yellow sodium color.[9] Potassium concentration in solution is commonly determined by flame photome...
This solution was titrated with 0.01 M HCl until the pink colour permanently disappeared. The volume of HCl solution used was recorded as (y). The calculation was as follows: y=ExchangeAland x−y=ExchangeH. Available P (ppm) was determined by using the Bray and Kurtz II method with a ...
Some applications for determining nitrite are based on the decrease in colour of a complex. For examples, nitrite is determined by the oxidation of a phosphomolybdenum blue complex. Nitrite is then determined from the decrease in absorbance of the blue complex. The same analyte is also determined...
Recently, using biochar as a soil amendment to mitigate drought stress in plants has also gained the attention of scientists [2,21,22]. It is an organic activated carbon with a high surface area, cation exchange capacity, and porous structure that acts like a sponge. Applying biochar as an ...
the soil profile in the experimental site was characterized by a soft to hard consistency when it was dry, and friable when moist. The main hue notation of the soils was reddish in colour. Table2lists the physical and chemical characteristics of the experimental soil which were estimated accord...
Carefully add 2 mL ofhydrochloric acid R in small portions. Heat on a water-bath for20 min. Any pink colour in the solution is not more intensethan that of a reference solution prepared at the same time inthe same manner using 1.0 g of the substance to be examinedto which 0.2 mL of ...
