Problem Set #3 Questions

Here you can post questions about Problem Set #3.

Hi. I have done all of problem set 3 except for question 1. I am having trouble calculating the matric potential. Could you please help me do that for question 1A.

Thanks

I assume that you are referring to problem set no.2 (not no. 3), if yes then for question 1a, you need to know matric potential and gravitational potential. This is very similar to the example shown during lecture on Jan 24, 2014.

For question 2b), I assume we take the total CEC calculated from 2a) to find the percent Base Saturation in 2b), correct?

Yes, that is correct

For 5, what can happen to H2S,is this H2S oxidated to form H+ and sulfate?

Hi Maja,

I don't know how to approach question 4.

Re. question #5 - yes H+ and sulfate ions are form and then you need to elaborate the consequences of the formation of those 2 ions (ie what could happen to them in the soil)
