CHAPTER 1. SOIL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
J Which physical and chemical properties are largely affected by surface area??? Soil Structure: The arrangement and organization of soil particles in the soil, and the tendency of individual soil particles to bind together in aggregates; Aggregation creates intra-aggregrate and inter-aggregate pore space, thereby changing flow

lawr.ucdavis.eduForces acting on soil particle are gravitation, buoyancy and drag forces, and all depend on particle size; The larger particles settle first à Stokes law Since soils are a mixture of different size particles, soil’s are classified using the so-called soil textural triangle.
CARBONATE EQUILIBRIA
lawr.ucdavis.eduCalcium carbonate in water with a fixed partial pressure of carbon dioxide. For the case of a fixed partial pressure of carbon dioxide and calcium carbonate dissolved in the aqueous phase one more equation is need to describe the system. This is the solubility product of calcium carbonate: = K ( CaCO ) ( Ca ) ( CO ) o CaCO 3 2 - 3 2 + 3 (19)

This scale is derived by assigning the freezing point of water a value of 0°C and its boiling point a value of 100°C.
