This episode details the key ingredients in fertilisers: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. It outlines the chemical production of nitrogen-based fertilisers, specifically ammonium nitrate, highlighting its rich nitrogen content due to its dual sources. We explain that phosphat ...  Show more

In this episode, we look at plants and nitrogen.Plants require nitrogen to produce proteins necessary for growth. While the atmosphere is full of nitrogen gas, plants cannot directly utilise this form. Instead, they absorb soluble nitrates from the soil. Crop harvesting depletes ...  Show more

In this episode, Sam Smith will discuss and help you understand the essential organic chemistry mechanisms and reactions you may encounter when taking the MCAT. From nucleophilic substitution reactions like SN1 and SN2 to aldol condensation and oxidation and reduction of alcohols ...  Show more

In this episode, we will discuss ion deficiencies in plants.

Healthy plant development relies on mineral ions extracted from the soil. A lack of these ions, particularly magnesium and nitrates, leads to deficiency disorders.
