Regular use of which of the following fertilizers increases the
acidity of soil?
Show answer and solution
(NH4)2SO4 + 2H2O → (2H+ + SO42-) + 2NH4OH
Strong acid Weakbase
(NH_4)_2 SO_4 on hydrolysis produces strong acid H_2SO_4, which
increases the acidity of the soil.
(NH4)2SO4 + 2H2O → (2H+ + SO42-) + 2NH4OH
