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

1 answer:

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.

Mass of hydrogen gas evolved is 0.0749 grams.

Explanation:

Total pressure of the gases = p = 758 mmHg

Vapor pressure of water = 23.78 mmHg

Pressure of hydrogen gas ,P = p - 23.78 mmHg = 758 mmHg - 23.78 mmHg

P = 734.22 mmHg = $\frac{734.22}{760} atm=0.966 atm$

Temperature of of hydrogen gas ,T= 25°C =298.15 K

Volume of hydrogen gas = V = 0.949 L

Moles of hydrogen gas =n

PV = nRT (Ideal gas equation )

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.966 atm\times 0.949 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 298.15 K}$

n = 0.03745 mol

Moles of hydrogen gas = 0.03745 mol

Mass of 0.03745 moles of hydrogen gas = 0.03745 mol × 2 g/mol = 0.0749 g

Mass of hydrogen gas evolved is 0.0749 grams.

Find the volume of a gas at STP, if its volume is 80.0 mL at 109 kPa and -12.5°C.

exis [7]

Answer:

= 913.84 mL

Explanation:

Using the combined gas laws

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

At standard temperature and pressure. the pressure is 10 kPa, while the temperature is 273 K.

V1 = 80.0 mL

P1 = 109 kPa

T1 = -12.5 + 273 = 260.5 K

P2 = 10 kPa

V2 = ?

T2 = 273 K

Therefore;

V2 = P1V1T2/P2T1

= (109 kPa × 80 mL × 273 K)/(10 kPa× 260.5 K)

<u>= 913.84 mL</u>
