Equivalent units

Moisture equivalent

Moisture equivalent is proposed by Lyman Briggs and McLane (1910) as a measure of field capacity for fine-textured soil materials. Moisture equivalent is defined as the percentage of water which a soil can retain in opposition to a centrifugal force 1000 times that of gravity. It is measured by saturating sample of soil 1 cm thick, and subjecting it to a centrifugal force of 1000 times gravity for 30 min. The gravimetric water content after this treatment is its moisture equivalent.This concept is no longer used in soil physics, replaced by field capacity. Lyman Briggs and Homer LeRoy Shantz (1912) found that: Moisture Equivalent = 0.02 sand + 0.22 silt + 1.05 clay Note: volume of water stored in root zone is equal to the depth of water in root zone (Vw=Dw) (Wikipedia).

pH Buffer Solution

We have four containers with universal indicator: Two of them are mixed with distilled water, the other two mixed with a buffer solution of ammonia and vinegar. We compare the pH changes when we add dropper-fulls of 1M NaOH and HCl to the dishes. We see that the water changes pH very easil
