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.

What is the correct iupac name of CH3-CH2-CH2CHO ?
kow [346]

the correct IUPAC name of the compound is 1-Butanal.

<h3>What are IUPAC names?</h3>

It is a system of naming organic compounds based on the longest carbon-to-carbon single bonds. It does not matter whether these longest chains are continuous or in a ring.

Thus, when the compound with the chemical formula, CH3-CH2-CH2CHO is considered. The longest carbon-to-carbon chain is 4. The 1st carbon carries a functional group known as an aldehyde.

Aldehydes are equipped with the carbonyl group and have the general formula R−CH=O. They are also sometimes referred to as formyl.

Aldehydes are named after their parent alkane chains with a slight modification. The 'e' is replaced with 'al'

The aldehyde in this case has four carbons. This means that the parent alkane is Butane. Therefore, the name of the compound will be 1-Butanal.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

The answer would be C 214g

Explanation:

890j of heat causes 4.6°c increase in temperature

specific heat of aluminium after is o.9022 j /g°c

now by using the formula .The mass of aluminium would be c that is 214 g
