Nitrogen is an essential part of proteins and nucleic acids (DNA).

<h3>Why is nitrogen important?</h3>

All living things require nitrogen. It is a part of proteins, ATP, chlorophyll, DNA, and RNA. Given that it makes up a significant portion of the structures of biomolecules in living organisms, its synthesis and consumption in the biogeochemical cycle are of highest importance. Proteins are made up of amino acids (NH2 group).

The structural development of living species' genetic material (DNA, RNA) also involves nitrogen. It is a part of the nitrogenous bases, which together with other nucleotides create RNA and DNA.

Therefore, a nitrogen deficit can cause major structural issues for such an organism.

<h3>What happens if nitrogen cycle is disrupted?</h3>

A number of undesirable consequences can result from the nitrogen cycle being disrupted. For instance, an abundance of nitrogen in aquatic systems leads to eutrophication. Acid rain can be caused by a rise in atmospheric nitrogen.

The majority of ecosystems can tolerate low nitrogen levels since the majority of nitrogen is not biologically accessible in nature. Ecosystems become out of balance when humans significantly increase the quantity of nitrogen that is accessible through fertilizers, fertilizer use, and other means.

Type the correct answer in the box. Express your answer to three significant figures. This balanced equation shows the reaction
Ratling [72]

Answer:

514.5 g.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation of the reaction is: 2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.
  • It is clear that every 2.0 moles of NaOH react with 1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ to produce 1.0 mole of Na₂SO₄ and 2.0 moles of 2H₂O.
  • Since NaOH is in excess, so H₂SO₄  is the limiting reactant.
  • We need to calculate the no. of moles of 355.0 g of H₂SO₄:

n of H₂SO₄ = mass/molar mass = (355.0 g)/(98.0 g/mol) = 3.622 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

∵ 1.0 mol H₂SO₄ produces → 1.0 mol of Na₂SO₄.

∴ 3.622 mol H₂SO₄ produces → 3.662 mol of Na₂SO₄.

  • Now, we can get the theoretical mass of Na₂SO₄:

∴ mass of Na₂SO₄ =  no. of moles x molar mass = (3.662 mol)(142.04 g/mol) = 514.5 g.
