Abstract

Soil is the combination of rock, mineral fragments, organic matter, water and air. It is mostly made up of grains of rock weathered by wind, rain, sun, snow etc varying amounts of humus. The type of soil depends on the mixture of humus and the size of the grains of the rock. According to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), there are over 50,000 different varieties of soil with different soil pH in the United States alone. Soil pH is a measure of how acidic or basic things are and is measured using a pH scale between 0 to 14, with acidic things having a pH between 0-7 and basic things having a pH from 7 to 14.  In present research work soil samples are studied using various chemicals such as Methanol, Etahnol, Pentanol, n-Butanol and Propanol. The important information about soil quality in terms of soil pH is deducted from the present research work.
