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

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.

True or False: Water molecules "stick together" due to hydrogen bonds.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

To begin with,

Hydrogen bonds are attractions that contain a force caused by the difference in charge. This is due to the positive hydrogen ions as well as  slightly negative ions. Therefore, hydrogen bonds make water molecules 'sticky.' To add, the attractions between hydrogen bonds are weaker than ionic and covalent bonds but strong enough to cause them to 'stick together'

Hope this helps.

When rubidium metal is exposed to air, two atoms of rubidium, Rb, combine with one atom
Eddi Din [679]

2.1653 g

Explanation:

The molar mass of Rubidium is;

85.468 g/mol

Therefore the moles of Rubidium that reacted with oxygen is;

1.98 / 85.468

= 0.0232 moles

If every two moles of Rubidium reacts with one mole of oxygen then the amount of oxygen consumed in the chemical reaction is;

0.5 * 0.0232

= 0.0116 moles

The molar mass of an oxygen atom is 16 g/mole. Then the amount of O in grams consumed is;

0.0116 * 16

=0.1853 g

The final weight of the Rubidium II Oxide is;

1.98 + 0.1853

= 2.1653 g
