Term
how the toxic effects of Al can be reversed
Definition
when properly managed, they can be reversed by returning Al to solid phases that are sparingly soluble

one way this can be done is by liming to raise the pH
Term
some potentially toxic metals
Definition
-Pb
-Cd
-Hg
-As
-Cr
-Al
Term
some intraphase processes that can happen in the soil organic matter
Definition
-functional group formation
-synth/decay
-structural rearrangement
Term
some intraphase processes that can happen in the soil minerals
Definition
-crystallization
-functional group formation
-oxidation/reduction
Term
some things that can happen in the soil solution (aqueous phase)
Definition
-hydration
-hydrolysis
-acid-base
-oxidation-reduction
-complexation
Term
a soil's reactivity is mostly regulated by...
Definition
the aqueous phase
Term
how hydrolysis can detoxify soluble elements
Definition
by removing element from its toxic form and binding it with an OH-
Term
Lowry-Brønstead bases
Definition
species in solution that accept protons
Term
Lowry-Brønstead acids
Definition
species in solution that donate protons
Term
aqueous complexation aka ion pair formation
Definition
when a cation and an anion of unequal charge combine to form a polyatomic ion example: Cd2+ + Cl- --> Cd+
Term
Lewis acid
Definition
cation that initiates a chemical rxn by employing an unoccupied electronic orbital
Term
a Lewis base is a...
Definition
ligand
Term
ligand
Definition
a substance that initiates a chemical rxn by employing a doubly occupied electronic orbital
Term
what ligands can do to other species in the soil solution
Definition
charge neutral or an anion
Term
Lowry-Brønstead acidity
Definition
special case of Lewis acidity, where H+ is the cation
Term
the cation in Lowry-Brønstead acidity
Definition
H+
