Answer:
64
Explanation:
Nitrogen combines directly with oxygen at very high temperatures to form nitrogen(ii) oxide. This is the reaction that occurs during lightning flashes. Atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen combines during the high temperatures obtained in lightning flashes to form nitrogen (ii) oxide.
Equation of the reaction is given below:
N(g) + O(g) ---> 2NO(g)
From the equation of the reaction, 1 mole of nitrogen gas combines with one mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of nitrogen (ii) oxide.
Therefore, 2 moles of oxygen gas will react with 2 moles of nitrogen gas
Mass of oxygen gas that is 2 moles of the gas is obtained from the formula; mass = number of moles * molar mass
Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32.0 g/mol
Mass of 2 moles of oxygen gas = 2 * 32.0 = 56 g
Therefore, the mass of oxygen required in grams is 64
Answer: Atmospheric Nitrogen is unreactive
Explanation:
The atmosphere is made up of about 80% Nitrogen, 16% oxygen, about 4% carbon dioxide, rare gases etc.
However, the 80% Nitrogen is highly unreactive, and needs to be trapped by competent micro organisms known as nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the root nodules of legumes.
Then, it is converted to several forms like nitrites, nitrates (easily absorbed by plants), ammonia and finally escape to the atmosphere again.
This brief illustration explains the NITROGEN CYCLE, and it is the only means by which plants and animals can use the highly unreactive nitrogen
