Alkalinity Sentence Examples

Thus the alkalinity serves as an index of the admixture of river water with sea-water.

To the touch it is rather soapy due to the high alkalinity.

Soil pH is used to determine alkalinity or acidity of soil. pH affects not only the availability of soil nutrients but influences what life forms live there.

Iron and quinine citrate is used as a bitter stomachic and tonic. In the blood citrates are oxidized into carbonates; they therefore act as remote alkalis, increasing the alkalinity of the blood and thereby the general rate of chemical change within the body.

He also traced a connexion between alkalinity, temperature and current-density, and showed that these conditions should be mutually adjusted.

Since 1851 it has been known that all sea-water has an alkaline reaction, and Torniie defined the alkalinity of sea-water as the amount of carbonic acid which is necessary to convert the excess of bases into normal carbonate.

The alkalinity of North Atlantic water of 35 per mille salinity is 26.86 cc. per litre, corresponding to a total amount of carbonic acid of 49 07 cc. According to the researches of August Krogh,' the alkalinity is greatly increased by the admixture of land water.

Ruppin's analysis of Baltic water, which has an alkalinity of 16 to 18 instead of the 5 or 6 which would be the amount proportional to the salinity, while the water of the Vistula and the Elbe with a salinity of o 1 per mille has an alkalinity of 28 or more.

After absorption into the blood, the acetates are oxidized to carbonates, and therefore are remote alkalies, and are administered whenever it is desired to increase the alkalinity of the blood or to reduce the acidity of the urine, without exerting the disturbing influence of alkalies upon the digestive tract.

In his widely used method for the quantitative determination of carbonic acid the gaseous mixture is shaken up with baryta or lime water of known strength and the change in alkalinity ascertained by means of oxalic acid.

Hence it is of the utmost importance to avoid the use of salts of this metal whenever it is necessary - as in diabetic coma - to increase the alkalinity of the blood rapidly.

A slight degree of acidity seems more favourable to the crystallization of salt than alkalinity; thus it is a practice to add a certain amount of alum, 2 to 12 lb per pan of brine, especially when, as in fishery salt, fine crystals are required.

Iron and quinine citrate is used as a bitter stomachic and tonic. In the blood citrates are oxidized into carbonates; they therefore act as remote alkalis, increasing the alkalinity of the blood and thereby the general rate of chemical change within the body (see Acetic Acid).

This corresponds to an increased alkalinity represented by about 2 c.c. of N/ 100 standard alkali, and that difference means that the carbon of about 8.8 milligrammes of carbonic acid has been built up (by photosynthesis) into carbohydrate during the period during which the change in alkalin ity proceeded.

Denitrifying bacteria will raise the alkalinity (or reduce the H-ion concentration) by forming ammonia, which will combine with the carbonic acid in solution and so throw down normal carbonate of lime.

Their colors are adjusted during growing periods by altering the acidity or alkalinity levels of their potting soil.

It is usually caused by prolonged exposure to the cold. pH-A measurement of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

This is necessary to achieve the proper balance of alkalinity, pH, chlorine and the calcium hardness of the pool water.

Possible chemical adjustments include adding pH to bring the level up or down and adjusting the alkalinity by using a sodium bicarbonate based product.

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a base and will control both the pH and alkalinity levels of the water.

It is the same product sold as those that bring alkalinity levels up.

The result of this is that the alkalinity of the sea-water increases and the hydrogen-ion concentration decreases.

The increasing temperature raises the rate of animal metabolism, while the higher alkalinity is a stimulus to cell-division.
