Answer:

B. Calcium nitrate

Explanation:

A soil will have an increase in pH if calcium nitrate is added to it. Calcium nitrate typically increases the alkalinity of soils when added to it.

Alkalinity is the degree of hydroxide ions concentration in the soil. This leads to increasing pH which tends towards the region of more bascity.

  • When calcium nitrate is added to the soil, the plants uses an hydrogen ion to take up nitrate.
  • Then an hydroxyl ion is excreted or released into the soil into the process.
  • Nitrate based fertilizers do not acidify soils.

What is the last energy level of N? Mg?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

2

3

Explanation:

To infer the last energy of the given atoms, we need to write their electronic configuration:

For N = 1S² 2S² 2P³

     Mg  = 1S² 2S² 2P⁶ 3S²  

The energy levels are usually designated as;

   n = 1

   n = 2

   n = 3

   n =4

For N, the last energy level is 2

     Mg, the last energy level is 3

We can also determine this number by the periods the atoms can be found.
