What is the reason why the fermentation products acetate and hydrogen gas (H2) are never abundant in aerobic soils and sediments

Chemistry

Rashid [163]2 years ago
8 0

Acetate and hydrogen gas (H2) is never abundant in aerobic soils and sediments because they are tiny, highly reduced molecules that many bacteria that breathe oxygen and nitrates quickly absorb to use as fuel for energy generation. 

<h3>Why are acetate and hydrogen gas not abundant in aerobic soils and sediments?</h3>

Hydrogen is a substrate for methanogenic archaea and, along with acetate, one of the most significant intermediates in the methanogenic breakdown of organic materials. Numerous methanogenic environments exhibit contributions of H₂ to CH₄ production that are both significantly lower and significantly higher than is considered usual. H₂ is rapidly converted in methanogenic settings due to the simultaneous generation by fermenting and syntrophic bacteria and consumption by methanogenic archaea.

Equal volumes of SO2(g) and O2(g) at STP contain the same number of
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Equal volumes of SO2(g) and O2(g) at STP contain the same number of molecules

Explanation:

According to Avogadro Law,

Equal volume of all the gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of molecules.

This law state that volume and number of moles of gas have direct relation.

When the amount of gas increases its volume will increase and when the amount of gas decreases its volume will decrease.

Mathematical relation:

V ∝ n

V/n = K

K is proportionality constant.

When number of moles change from n₁ to n₂ and volume from V₁ to V₂

expression will be,

V₁/n₁ = K     ,     V₂/n₂ = K

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

Heterocyclic aromatic compounds undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution in a similar fashion to that undergone by benzene wi
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When we talk about electrophilic substitution, we are talking about a substitution reaction in which the attacking agent is an electrophile. The electrophile attacks an electron rich area of a compound during the reaction.

The five membered furan ring is aromatic just as benzene. This aromatic structure is maintained during electrophilic substitution reaction. The attack of the electrophile generates a resonance stabilized intermediate whose canonical structures have been shown in the image attached.

C. identify a set of four possible quantum numbers for the circled electron in manganese (mn). (there is more than one correct a
steposvetlana [31]
Although you have not provided the circled electron, I can help you with a wide explanation.

1) Atomic number of manganese is 25. That means that it has 25 protons and 25 electrons.

2) Those 25 electrons are distributed (electron configuration) as per the quantum rules:

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁵

3) The most reasonable is that you have been asked to give the possible quantum numbers for an electron in the 4s or 3d.

4) Those are 7 electrons and these are their possible sets of quantum numbers:
i) For the two electrons in 4s: 
n is the main energy level so n = 4
l tells the kind of orbital, which is s, so l = 0
ml is also 0 (it can be from -l to + l, so given that l i s0, ml is 0)
ms: one is +/12 and the other is -1/2 (this is the spin number).


ii) For the 5 electrons in 3d

n = 3
l can be 0, 1, or 2
if l = 0, then ml = 0

if l = 1, then ml can be -1, 0 , or 1 (from - l to + l)


ms can be either +1/2 or - 1/2 (spin)

Why has nuclear fusion been difficult to develop?
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

C. It is hard to recreate the extremely high temperatures and pressures found inside stars.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion occurs when atomic nuclei are forcefully combined to create a new atomic nuclei or subatomic particles. In nature, this process takes place in our Sun and other stars. Within stars, extremely high temperatures and pressures are achieved and cause nuclear fusion to occur. Humans have not yet been successful in recreating the environment necessary to mimic this process.
