Popular questions
1 gram of aluminum will produce how many grams of potassium aluminum sulphate dodecahydrate?
About 17.6 g, assuming the aluminum is fully converted to potassium alum dodecahydrate (KAl(SO4)2·12H2O) using potassium sulphate (E515i) and sulfuric acid at 100% yield.
1..00 gram of aluminum will produce how many grams of potassium aluminum sulphate decahydrate?
About 16.3 g if the product is the decahydrate (KAl(SO4)2·10H2O) at 100% yield.
Assumming a 100 yeild 1 gram of aluminum will produce how many grams of potassium aluminum sulphate?
About 17.6 g as the common dodecahydrate; if you mean anhydrous KAl(SO4)2, it’s about 9.6 g per 1 g Al (both at 100% yield).
How much "potassium sulphate" should i apply to raise *ppm?
K2SO4 is 44.9% potassium by weight, so grams needed ≈ 0.00223 × desired K ppm × volume in liters (e.g., raising K by 10 ppm in 100 L needs ~2.23 g K2SO4).
How much potassium is in glucosamine sulphate?
In the common glucosamine sulfate 2KCl form, potassium is about 13% by weight (≈195 mg K per 1500 mg); sodium-chloride–stabilized forms contain no potassium.
What is gypsum used for?
In foods (E516), gypsum (calcium sulfate) is used as a stabiliser/firming and anti‑caking agent, a tofu coagulant, and to adjust brewing water; outside food it’s used for plaster, drywall, and as a desiccant.
What is gypsum board?
Gypsum board (drywall) is a building panel with a calcium sulfate core faced with paper, used for interior walls and ceilings—it's a construction use of the same mineral, not a food application of E516.
What does gypsum do for soil?
It supplies calcium and sulfate without notably changing pH, and can improve structure and water infiltration in sodic (sodium-affected) soils by displacing sodium; it has little effect on non‑sodic clays.
What is selenite good for?
Selenite is the crystalline mineral form of gypsum (calcium sulfate); it’s used like gypsum in construction materials and as a source of calcium and sulfate, including limited food uses as additive E516.
How much gypsum to add to soil?
Apply based on a soil test: typical maintenance rates are about 10–40 lb per 1,000 sq ft (50–200 g/m²) for lawns/gardens, while reclaiming sodic soils can require much more (around 1–4 tons/acre, 2–9 t/ha). Over‑application won’t fix non‑sodic clays and can add unnecessary salts.
