Answer:
The amount of energy liberated will be 49.38 J.
Explanation:
The amount of energy liberated (gibbs free energy) can be calculated using the following equation:
ΔG° = -nFε
n: amount of moles of electrons transfered
F: Faraday's constant
ε: cell potential
20.0 g of Zn is equal to 0.30 mol.
Two electrons are transfered during the reaction.
Therefore, n = 2x0.30 ∴ n = 0.60
ΔG° = - 0.60 x 96.485 x 0.853
ΔG° = 49.38 J
Answer:
Some bacteria like <em><u>rhizobium</u></em> and <u><em>blue green algae</em></u> are able to fix nitrogen gas from the atmosphere to enrich the soil with nitrogen compounds and increase its fertility. The nitrogen-fixing bacteria and blue green algae are called <u><em>biological nitrogen fixers.</em></u>
