Answer:

The process is called Nitrogen fixation

Explanation:

The nitrogen fixation is a process carried out by some prokaryotic microorganisms (bacteria), specifically those have the presence of the nitrogenase enzyme. The bacteria absorb the atmospheric nitrogen (N2) from the roots of plants, and the nitrogenase enzyme, with the help of two proteins that act as electron donors and acceptors (nitrogenase complex) reduce the nitrogen to ammonia (NH3), then the ammonia is ionized to NH4+ (ammonium). Followed by that, the ammonia is oxidated to nitrates and nitrites, which are finally absorbed again by plants.

When 11.12 g of neon is combined in a 100 L container at 80oC with 9.59 g of argon, what is the mole fraction of argon?
PolarNik [594]
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "<span>0.3."

Here it is how to solve.
M</span><span>olecular mass of Ar = 40
</span><span>Molecular mass of Ne = 20
</span><span>Number of moles of Ar = 9.59/40 = 0.239
</span><span>Number of moles of Ne = 11.12/20= 0.556
</span><span>Mole fraction of argon = 0.239/ ( 0.239 + 0.556) = 0.3</span><span>

Describe the day of June 21 at the North Pole in terms of daylight and darkness <br> ( science )
frosja888 [35]
On June 21, as seen from the North pole ...

-- the sun has been up, and it's been light outside,
for the past three months ... ever since March 21 . 

-- The sun won't set, and it won't be dark outside,
for another three months ... until September 21.

-- Here at the North pole, it stays daylight for six months straight.
Today, on June 21, we're exactly halfway through the period of
continuous daylight.

determine the ph of a buffer that is 0.55 M HNO2 and 0.75 M KNO2. tha value of Ka for HNO2 is 6.8*10^-4
Mariana [72]

Answer:

pH = 3.3

Explanation:

Buffer solutions minimize changes in pH when quantities of acid or base are added into the mix. The typical buffer composition is a weak electrolyte (wk acid or weak base) plus the salt of the weak electrolyte. On addition of acid or base to the buffer solution, the solution chemistry functions to remove the acid or base by reacting with the components of the buffer to shift the equilibrium of the weak electrolyte left or right to remove the excess hydronium ions or hydroxide ions is a way that results in very little change in pH of the system. One should note that buffer solutions do not prevent changes in pH but minimize changes in pH. If enough acid or base is added the buffer chemistry can be destroyed.

In this problem, the weak electrolyte is HNO₂(aq) and the salt is KNO₂(aq). In equation, the buffer solution is 0.55M HNO₂ ⇄ H⁺ + 0.75M KNO₂⁻ . The potassium ion is a spectator ion and does not enter into determination of the pH of the solution. The object is to determine the hydronium ion concentration (H⁺) and apply to the expression pH = -log[H⁺].

Solution using the I.C.E. table:

              HNO₂ ⇄    H⁺   +   KNO₂⁻

C(i)        0.55M       0M      0.75M

ΔC            -x            +x          +x

C(eq)  0.55M - x       x     0.75M + x    b/c [HNO₂] / Ka > 100, the x can be                                    

                                                             dropped giving ...

           ≅0.55M        x       ≅0.75M        

Ka = [H⁺][NO₂⁻]/[HNO₂] => [H⁺] = Ka · [HNO₂]/[NO₂⁻]

=> [H⁺] = 6.80x010⁻⁴(0.55) / (0.75) = 4.99 x 10⁻⁴M

pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(4.99 x 10⁻⁴) -(-3.3) = 3.3

Solution using the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:

pH = pKa + log[Base]/[Acid] = -log(Ka) + log[Base]/[Acid]

= -log(6.8 x 10⁻⁴) + log[(0.75M)/(0.55M)]

= -(-3.17) + 0.14 = 3.17 + 0.14 = 3.31 ≅ 3.3
