What is the formula for NH4 and O?

What is the formula for NH4 and O? NH₄⁺ Is NH4 an acid or base? Weak base dissociation eg NH3 NH3 is a weak base and dissociates partially in solution (as indicated with reversible arrow) to form OH- and NH4+ ions. Since this is a reversible process, NH4+ can donate H+ to form back NH3. […]

What particle size is the easiest to erode?

What particle size is the easiest to erode? In a stream, the most easily eroded particles are small sand grains between 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm. Anything smaller or larger requires a higher water velocity to be eroded and entrained in the flow. What increases the size of particles carried increases? The average velocity (speed) […]
