  • Calcium Nitrate Calcium Nitrate Is a Highly Soluble Source of Two Plant Nutrients
    No. 27 Calcium Nitrate Calcium nitrate is a highly soluble source of two plant nutrients. Its high solubility makes it popular for supplying an immediately available source of nitrate and calcium directly to soil, through irrigation water, or with foliar applications. Production: Phosphate rock is acidified with nitric acid to form a mixture of phosphoric acid and calcium nitrate during the nitrophosphate fertilizer manufacturing process. Ammonia is then added to neutralize excess acidity. Calcium nitrate crystals precipitate via a temperature gradient and are separated as the mixture is cooled. With the ammonia addition and crystallization, a double salt is formed [5 Ca(NO3)2•NH4NO3•10 H2O, referred to as 5:1:10 double salt] and is considered the commercial grade of calcium nitrate. Hence, small amounts of ammonical N may also be present in this grade of calcium nitrate. Calcium nitrate is also manufactured by reacting nitric acid with crushed limestone forming either the 5:1:10 double salt or calcium nitrate tetrahydrate (Ca(NO3)2•4 H2O). The latter product is often produced as a wet crystal or a mesh and is subject to specific regulation with respect to handling and safety. Prilling and granulating are the most common methods of making particles ready for field use. Calcium nitrate is very hygroscopic (absorbs water from the air), so when intended for soil application, proprietary coatings are applied to minimize moisture uptake. Calcium nitrate intended for hydroponics or fertigation does not contain a conditioner, or it may be sold

The properties of the binary glasses were compared with those of pure silica Stöber particles. The direct addition of calcium chloride (CC), calcium nitrate (CN), calcium methoxide (CM) or calcium ethoxide (CE) at 5 mol % with respect to tetraethyl orthosilicate in the reagent mixture gave rise to textured, micron-sized aggregates rather than monodispersed ~500 nm spheres obtained from the pure silica Stöber synthesis. The broadening of the Si-O-Si band at ~1100 cm−1 in the infrared spectra of the calcium-doped glasses indicated that the silicate network was depolymerised by the incorporation of Ca2+ ions and energy dispersive X-ray analysis revealed that, in all cases, the Ca:Si ratios were significantly lower than the nominal value of 0.05.

Abstract: Recently, there has been increased use of calcium-nitrite and calcium-nitrate as the main components of chloride- and alkali-free anti-freezing agents to promote concrete hydration in cold weather concreting. As the amount of nitrite/nitrate-based accelerators increases, the hydration of tricalcium aluminate (C3A phase) and tricalcium silicate (C3S phase) in cement is accelerated, thereby improving the early strength of cement and effectively preventing initial frost damage. Nitrite/nitrate-based accelerators are used in larger amounts than usual in low temperature areas ◦ below −10 C. However, the correlation between the hydration process and strength development in concrete containing considerable nitrite/nitrate-based accelerators remains to be clearly identified.

  • Precipitation Reactions 7.3 Precipitation Reactions
    312 Chapter 7 An Introduction to Chemical Reactions 7.3 Precipitation Reactions The reaction that forms the scale in hot water pipes, eventually leading to major plumbing bills, belongs to a category of reactions called precipitation reactions. So does the reaction of calcium and magnesium ions with soap to create a solid scum in your bathtub and washing machine. Cadmium hydroxide, which is used in rechargeable batteries, is made from the precipitation reaction between water solutions of cadmium acetate and sodium hydroxide. This section describes the changes that occur in precipitation reactions, shows you how to predict when they take place, and shows you how to describe them using chemical equations. Precipitation Reactions OBJECTIVE 9 Precipitation reactions, such as the ones we will see in this section, belong to a general class of reactions called double‑displacement reactions. (Double displacement reactions are also called double‑replacement, double‑exchange, or metathesis reactions.) Double displacement reactions have the following form, signifying that the elements in two reacting compounds change partners. AB + CD → AD + CB Precipitation reactions take place between ionic compounds in solution. For example, in the precipitation reactions that we will see, A and C represent the cationic (or positively charged) portions of the reactants and products, and B and D represent the anionic (or negatively charged) portions of the reactants and products. The cation of the first reactant (A) combines with the anion of the second reactant (D) to form the product AD, and the cation of the second reactant (C) combines with the anion of the first reactant to form the product CB.

  • Antagonism Between Salts of the Heavy and Alkaline-Earth Metals in Their Toxic Action on the Tadpole of the Toad, Bufo Bufo Bufo (L.) by J
    ANTAGONISM BETWEEN SALTS OF THE HEAVY AND ALKALINE-EARTH METALS IN THEIR TOXIC ACTION ON THE TADPOLE OF THE TOAD, BUFO BUFO BUFO (L.) BY J. R. ERICHSEN JONES, B.Sc, PH.D. Department of Zoology, University College of Wales, Aberystwyth (Received 18 February 1939) (With Fifteen Text-figures) A. INTRODUCTION THE literature on antagonism is very extensive, dating back to the classic work of Ringer (1884) on the antagonistic effect of calcium and potassium upon the working of the vertebrate heart. The writer (1939) has compiled a. very brief review of the literature on antagonism, and discussions of various aspects of the subject are to be found in the works of Loeb (1906), Osterhout (1922), Stiles (1924), Heilbrunn (1928, 1937) and Seifriz (1936). The subject has not only attracted the biologist but has also claimed the attention of the physical chemists who have studied salt antagonism in inanimate systems; thus Clowes (1916) studied the effect of calcium and sodium salts on the stability of watery emulsions of soaps and oils, while Fenn (1916) employed gelatine and Moyer & Bull (1935) employed cellulose surfaces. In their selection of living material the biologists have largely confined themselves to bacteria, plant material, low forms of animal life and the eggs of marine animals. Thus the extensive study of the subject made by Osterhout (1922) was performed with the roots of wheat seedlings and the marine alga Lamnaria, the experiments of Rezni- koff & Chambers (1925), Heilbrunn & Daugherty (1932) and Thornton (1935) were performed with Amoeba, those of Heilbrunn (1928) with Stentor and Arbacia eggs, those of Loeb (1906) with the eggs of Funduhis and those of Brooks (1919, 1920, 1921) with Bacillus subtilis.

  • Resulting Nitric Acid Is Stronger Than the Calcium Hydroxide Affect the Ph of a Solution. When Applied to Soil, Urea Is
    combustion of fuel by in-house heaters may result in the production of ethylene (Shalit, 1980). Ethylene is a plant hormone responsible for senescence causing the buds to age prematurely. In order to promote uniform and longer flowering, remove the first two flower buds at the base. Defoliation is also recommended for an increased flower count (Irons, 1982). When the plants have 8-10 leaves, begin removing new leaves as they form. Do this every few days to keep up with new growth until a satisfactory bud set is obtained. The resultant plants should produce 50 or more flowers. Although not commercially feasible, Gloxinias may be grown a second season. After they have flowered, allow a "rest" period which follows the natural cycle of the tuber. This crop originated in Brazil where there is a rainy season for growth and a dry season for rest (Katzenberger, 1975). The dormant tubers should be watered about once a month until a new shoot appears, then repotted. THE pH OF CALCIUM NITRATE AND UREA Although the Gloxinia is easily saleable once seen by AS FERTILIZERS customer, its production is limited due to shipping difficulties related to the large, often brittle foliage. Jay S. Koths Extension Floriculturist This problem may be averted by growing smaller-leaved cultivars with more flexible leaves or growing smaller plants in small pots. This allows more plants per square Calcium nitrate is acid and urea is neutral in foot and faster turnover of valuable greenhouse space. solution. This is true when first applied as fertilizer to root media. It is NOT TRUE in ultimate effect.
