Answer:

NO−3→NO−2→N2O→N2

Explanation:

Denitrification is the process by which nitrogen is returned to the atmosphere by denitrifying bacteria. The process of denitrification involves a sequence of reduction reactions in the sequence; NO3−→NO2−→N2O→N2.

Nitrogen is usually present in soil in the form of soil nitrates which are soluble in water and can be absorbed by plant roots. These denitrifying bacteria reduce soil nitrates to nitrites, then to nitrogen I oxide and finally to molecular nitrogen as shown in the sequence above.

Denitrification can release N2O, is an ozone-depleting substance and

greenhouse gas into the atmosphere with its attendant consequence on global warming.

Answer:

The group 18 elements are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and radon (Rn). These elements are non-reactive and are called noble gases as they have their outermost orbit complete. Due to stable electronic configuration they hardly react with other elements.The name comes from the fact that these elements are virtually unreactive towards other elements or compounds.The group 18 elements are called noble or inert gases. As the name suggests these are inert because chemically they are very less reactive or not at all reactive.The full valence electron shells of these atoms make the noble gases extremely stable.

Why do group 1 cations form precipitates when mixed with hcl?
Xelga [282]
Both of you are overlooking a pretty big component of the question...the Group I cation isn't being dissociated into water. We're testing the solubility of the cation when mixed with HCl. And this IS a legitimate question, seeing as our lab manual is the one asking. 

<span>By the way, the answer you're looking for is "Because Group I cations have insoluble chlorides". </span>

<span>"In order...to distinguish cation Group I, one adds HCl to a sample. If a Group I cation is present in the sample, a precipitate will form." </span>
