The A horizon is a surface horizon that largely consists of minerals (sand<span>, </span>silt<span>, and </span>clay) and with appreciable amounts of organic matter. This horizon is predominantly the surface layer of many soils in grasslands and agricultural lands.<span>These </span>materials typically<span> accumulate through a process termed illuviation, wherein the </span>materials<span> gradually wash in from the overlying.</span>
Dilution formula:
mv = MV
where one side is concentration × volume BEFORE dilution and the other side is concentration × volume AFTER dilution.
(100mL) × (12 M) = (500mL) × (X)
(1200 M·mL) = (500mL) × (X)
(1200 M·mL) / (500mL) = X
2.4 M = X
