Question
9. wo samples of the same soil is subjected to pH analysis using a pH meter, the first is analysed using 1:1 soil:water ratio and the other with 1:1 soil:KCl ratio, what would be the most probable result? 
 
 
 
A. Soil analused using 1:1 soil:KCl ratio will register a higher pH compared to that of soil analysed using 1:1 soil water ratio
 
 
 
B. Soil analysed using 1:1 soil:KCl will register a lower pH compared to that of soil analysed using 1:1 soil:water ratio
 
 
 
C. Soil analysed using 1:1 soil:water ratio will register a lower pH compared to that of soil analysed using 1:1 soil:KCl ratio
 
 
 
D. Soil analysed using 1:1 soil:water ratio will have the same pH with that of soil analysed using 1:1 soil:KCl ratio
