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.

You have 0.14 moles of sodium chloride (NaCl). How many grams do you have? ( 1 mole of NaCl = 58 grams NaCl) *
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Option D is correct = 8.12 grams of NaCl

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of sodium chloride = 0.14 mol

Mass of sodium chloride = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass of NaCl / Molar mass of NaCl

Molar mass of NaCl = 58 g/mol

Now we will put the values in formula.

0.14 mol = Mass of NaCl / 58 g/mol

Mass of NaCl = 0.14 mol  ×  58 g/mol

Mass of NaCl = 8.12 g of NaCl

Thus, 0.14 moles of NaCl contain 8.12 g of NaCl.
