Why is it difficult to pull nitrogen from the atmosphere into the nitrogen cycle of the biosphere?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Jlenok [28]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Because only a few bacterias can "fix" the atmosphere nitrogen.

Explanation:

The nitrogen at the atmosphere is in the form of N₂ and represents 78% of the atmosphere composition. The element is part of the constitution of nucleic acids and proteins, so the living beings needed them.

However, the animals and the plants can't catch the N₂. Some bacterias that live in mutualism with plants have this ability, and they "fix" the atmosphere nitrogen, transforming the N₂ in the ions nitrite (NO₃⁻) or ammonia (NH₃), which can be caught by the plants.

Them, when the primary consumers eat the plants they catch the nitrogen, which will be passed through the food chain.

So, it's difficult to pull nitrogen from the atmosphere into the nitrogen cycle of the biosphere because only a few bacterias can do it.

What is the ph of a solution of 0.50 m acetic acid?
frosja888 [35]
You need to use the Ka for the acetic acid and the equilibrium equation.

Ka = 1.85 * 10^ -5

Equilibrium reaction: CH3COOH (aq) ---> CH3COO(-) + H(+)

Ka = [CH3COO-][H+] / [CH3COOH]

Molar concentrations at equilibrium

CH3COOH         CH3COO-     H+

 0.50  - x                  x                 x

Ka = x*x / (0.50 - x) = x^2 / (0.50 - x)

Given that Ka is << 1 => 0.50 >> x and 0.50 - x ≈ 0.50

=> Ka ≈ x^2 / 0.50

=> x^2 ≈ 0.50 * Ka = 0.50 * 1.85 * 10^ -5 = 0.925 * 10^ - 5 = 9.25 * 10 ^ - 6

=> x = √ [9.25 * 10^ -6] = 3.04 * 10^ -3 ≈ 0.0030

pH = - log [H+] = - log (x) = - log (0.0030) = 2.5

Using a chemical equation to find moles of product from moles...
kaheart [24]

Answer: 0.600 moles

Balanced eqn for decomposition of the rocket fuel:

2 NH4ClO4 (s) ----> N2 (g) + Cl2 (g) + 2 O2 (g) + 4 H2O (g)

Since, 2 moles of NH4ClO4 produces 2 moles of O2 gas, this means that 0.6 moles of NH4ClO4 will produce 0.6 moles of O2 gas

How many moles of Calcium Oxide are needed to produce 4 moles of Calcium Hydroxide?
Tpy6a [65]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 2 moles of CaO are required to react with 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • CaO: 1 mole
  • H₂O: 1 mole
  • Ca(OH)₂:  1 mole

<h3>Moles of CaO required</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by stoichiometric reaction 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂ is produced by 1 mole of CaO, 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂ are produced by how many moles of CaO?

moles of CaO=\frac{2 moles of Ca(OH)_{2}x1 mol of CaO }{1 mole of Ca(OH)_{2}}

moles of CaO= 2 moles

Finally, 2 moles of CaO are required to react with 2 moles of Ca(OH)₂.
