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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

This is the chemical formula for acetone: CH32CO. Calculate the mass percent of carbon in acetone.
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

62.07 %

Explanation:

Chemical Formula =  (CH3)2CO = C3H6O

Mass of C = 12 g/mol

Mass of H = 1 g/mol

Mass of O = 12 g/mol

Mass of  C3H6O = 3(12) + 6(1) + 16 = 58 g/mol

Total mass of C in Acetone = 12 * 3 = 36 g

Mass Percent of C =  Total mass of C / Mass of Acetone   *  100

Mass percent = 36 / 58    *  100

Mass percent = 62.07 %

Why does food have potential energy?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

So that if we feel weak, energy is released through it so we can do work and do stuff like walk or think. It's like stored energy that can do things for the future.

Both protons and neutrons (and their anti-particles) froze out:
VladimirAG [237]
I think Both protons and neutrons (and their anti-particles) froze out at 1013 K, about 0.0001 seconds after the Big Bang. Protons and neutrons are sub atomic particles of an atom that are found in the nucleus of an atom. Proton is the positively charge particle while the neutron has no charge. The proton positive charge accounts for the positive nuclear charge.

How many moles are in 1.9 x 1046 atoms of chromium?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

<h2>3.156 × 10²² atoms</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{1.9 \times  {10}^{46} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\  = 3.156 \times  {10}^{22}

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.156 × 10²² atoms</h3>

Hope this helps you

23. Enzyme A, as the temperature increases, the rate of reaction goes down. However, Enzyme B as the temperature goes up the reaction goes up.

24. Enzyme B is more active in a human cell, the reaction is what you want and everytime the temperature goes up in enzyme B the reaction goes up.
