    Question

    Which of the following is NOT related to anion exchange capacity?

    A.

    Dissociation of carboxyl and phenolic group on broken crystal edges

    B.

    Dissociation of OH ions from Al-OH group on broken crystal edges and addition of H ion on these sites

    C.

    Dissociation of OH ion from Al-OH group on broken crystal edges and addition of H ion on these sites

    D.

    Addition of H ion on humus micelle

    Correct option is A


    Anion exchange capacity (AEC) refers to the soil’s ability to adsorb negatively charged ions (anions). It is mainly governed by the presence of hydroxyl groups (Al–OH) on clay minerals and protonation of organic matter. Carboxyl and phenolic groups contribute to cation exchange capacity (CEC), not AEC. Hence, (a) is unrelated.
