An Experiment on Soil Analysis Jacob Pitcher and Derrick Gillespie Chemistry Lab 112 Section 02 4/02/2013 Abstract A sample of soil was tested for possible contaminants and other information using a variety of techniques including moisture analysis‚ pH measurement‚ acid-base titration‚ chloride-ion electrode analysis‚ and flame testing. The sample had a greater concentration of chloride ions‚ no measurable CaCo3 ‚ and lower than standard moisture content. It was contaminated with KCl and

Investigating Soils Observations/Data Record the observations and/or data you collected here. Describe the color‚ feel‚ and appearance of each soil sample. Sample 1: Play ground sand: khaki colored‚ feels rough‚ has more sand than rocks. Sample 2: Potting soil: black/brown-ish colored‚ feels some what soft‚ has little pieces of bark (woody stem‚ branches‚ and roots of plants.) Sample 3: Backyard soil: Orange-red‚ feels lumpy‚ muddy look alike. What is the texture of each soil sample? Sample

Soil FRQ A) One chemical soil test we could do is a pH level test so we are able to tell what crops can grow in what areas. Other chemical tests include salinity‚ organic content (humus)‚ or the iron exchange capacity. One Physical Soil test we can do is pick up a handful of it and rub it together with our fingers to tell if it’s a soil heavy in clay‚ silt‚ or sand. Other physical tests include water-holding capacity porosity‚ moisture content‚ soil structure‚ or color. By completing these tests

University’s Successional Plot’s Soil P.H. Meredith Hamilton Biology- Westover September 30‚ 2011 Abstract The question of this study pertained to the amount of vegetation that was occurring on each of the succession plot’s ground floor. There are three successional plots in Winthrop University’s wooded areas‚ the oldest was created in 1989 the second was created in 1994 and the youngest plot was created in 1999. For the hypothesis to be tested‚ there were soil PH meters to test the amount
