Table 1.
Condition | Effect on compartment from which NH3 and NH3/NH4+ leave | Effect on compartment that NH3 and NH3/NH4+ enter |
---|---|---|
pH < pHNull … that is, JNH3/JNH4+ > (JNH3/JNH4+)Null | ↓pH | ↑pH |
pH = pHNull … that is, JNH3/JNH4+ = (JNH3/JNH4+)Null | △̸pH | △̸pH |
pH > pHNull … that is, JNH3/JNH4+ < (JNH3/JNH4+)Null | ↑pH | ↓pH |
Note. ↓pH, decrease in pH; ↑pH, increase in pH; △̸pH, no pH change in this compartment
