What role does lightning play in the nitrogen cycle?

Biology
1 answer:
mixer [17]3 years ago

Atmospheric Fixation. The enormous energy of lightningbreaks nitrogen molecules and enables their atoms to combine with oxygen in the air forming huge nitrogen oxides. These dissolve in rain, forming nitrates, that are carried to the earth.

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

0.062 moles of hydrogen gas

Explanation:

We must first out down the reaction equation before we can attempt to solve the problem.

Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) ----> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Next we obtain the number of moles in 1.5 g of magnesium metal from;

Molar mass of magnesium = 24.3 gmol-1

Number of moles of magnesium= mass/molar mass = 1.5g/24.3gmol-1 = 0.062 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of magnesium metal yields 1 mole of hydrogen gas

0.062 moles of magnesium metal will yield 0.062 moles of hydrogen gas

Therefore, reaction of 1.5g of magnesium metal with excess hydrochloric acid will yield 0.062 moles of hydrogen gas.

How can earths plates move
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down.

What is the source of genetic material in organisms that reproduce sexually
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

In sexually reproducing organisms, each parent contributes half of the genes acquired (at random) by the offspring. Individuals have two of each chromosome and hence two alleles of each gene, one acquired from each parent.

Describe Hydrogen Bonding.<br><br><br> BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST
Leto [7]

Hydrogen bonding is a interaction between two hydrogen atoms that is very essential for life on Earth. It is notoriously seen between water molecules, and it occurs when there is a slight disbalance in electrical charge between two Hydrogen atoms, and Oxygen atom that comprise water.  This slight imbalance makes the Oxygen slightly more electronegative, and the two hydrogen atoms slightly more electropostive.  The reason why water when spilled forms globules for this exact reasoning. The slightly positive charged hydrogen feels an electrostatic attraction to the Oxygen atom thus forming a strong bond. An interesting fact that comes from this electrical disbalance is that when salt is added to water, water is able to conduct electricity because of this disbalance in charge it can seperate the sodium chloride lattices into ions.

A type of aneurysm in which blood leaks between layers of the vessel wall, tearing them apart, is called
olga2289 [7]

An aneurysm that divides the three layers of the artery wall, as opposed to inflating out the entire wall, is known as a dissecting aneurysm.

<h3>What causes an aneurysm to form?</h3>

Multiple circumstances that lead to the breakdown of the well-organized structural elements (proteins) of the aortic wall, which maintain and stabilize the wall, can result in an aneurysm. Uncertainty surrounds the precise cause. Aneurysmal disease is thought to be significantly influenced by atherosclerosis, which is the hardening of the arteries with plaque.

Surgical intervention can be required since an aneurysm may continue to grow in size and the arterial wall may deteriorate over time. One of the objectives of therapy is to prevent aneurysm rupture. The risk of an aneurysm rupturing increases with its size (bursting). A rupture could lead to fatal hemorrhage (uncontrolled bleeding), which is life-threatening.
