You're on a roll — 1.1.1 Express this as a chemical equation CO_2(g) + H_2O(l) → H_2CO_3(aq) 1.1.2 Indicate THREE functions of carbon dioxide • It reacts with water to form carbonic acid, which helps in the dissolution of soil minerals, making nutrients accessible to plant roots. • It is a product of root respiration and microbial decomposition of organic matter in the soil. • It influences soil pH, which in turn affects nutrient availability and microbial activity. 1.2 Name the gas responsible for each of the function below: 1.2.1 Inaccessible compounds become accessible to plant roots Carbon dioxide (due to its reaction with water to form carbonic acid, which dissolves minerals) 1.2.2 slows down oxidation Nitrogen (as an inert gas, it dilutes oxygen in the soil air) 1.2.3 improves the formation of humus in the soil Carbon dioxide (through the formation of carbonic acid, which aids in the breakdown and transformation of organic matter into stable humus) Send me the next one 📸
