Answer: a. alkaline b. sulphur

Explanation:

A pH is an indicator of acidity and alkalinity nature of a solution. The acidic solutions have low pH value and the basic solutions have high pH value. Some solutions are neither acidic nor basic they are called as neutral (pH = 7). Below the value of 7 the solution is considered to be acidic and above 7 considered to be basic.

According to the given situation, the pH value of 7.6 indicates that the soil is alkaline in nature. Adding sulfur to the soil will lower the pH of the soil. The soil bacteria in the soil will convert the sulfur into sulfuric acid. The accumulation of sulfuric acid in the soil will lower the pH of the soil. As, the plants growing in the alkaline soil are subjected to yellowing of the leaves and chlorosis.

Use this:

pH = 7 => neutral

pH > 7 => basic (alkaline)

pH < 7 => acidic

So, a pH of 7.6 means the soil is alkaline.

Now, to reduce the impact you should lower the pH.

Sulfur forms acid (H2S or H2SO4) which will lower the pH.

So, adding sulfur will result in the (at least partial) neutralization of the pH and so reduce the impact on plant growth.

Answers: 1) alkaline, 2) sulfur.

The plasma membrane needs lipids, which make a semi-permeable barrier between the cell and its environment. It also needs proteins, which are involved in cross-membrane transport and cell communication, and carbohydrates, which decorate both the proteins and lipids and help cells recognize each other. Hope this helps :)

You have been hired to forecast future population level for a small country. You know that this country currently has 25 million
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Explanation below

Explanation:

It should be understood that the population growth rate of a particular country can be explained or described as the increase in the number of the citizens of that country.

There are so many factors that contribute to an increase in the number of people of a country. These include influx of people into the country, increase in birth rate and decrease in death or mortality rate.

In this case, the growth rate is usually calculated in percentage, so the growth rate should be around 3.5%.

In this lab, we assumed that the only acid in our juice sample was citric acid, but other acids may be present as well. Ascorbic
gregori [183]

Answer:

The presence of other acids in our juice causes our calculated concentration of citric acid to be falsely high.

Explanation:

The presence of other acids in our juice causes our calculated concentration of citric acid to be falsely high and we would have to account for the other acids in this case.
