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.

The volume (in L) that would be occupied by 5.00 mols of 02 at STP is
crimeas [40]

Answer : The volume of oxygen at STP is 112.0665 L

Solution : Given,

The number of moles of O_2 = 5 moles

At STP, the temperature is 273 K and pressure is 1 atm.

Using ideal gas law equation :

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of gas

V = volume of gas

n = the number of moles

T = temperature of gas

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mole K   (Given)

By rearranging the above ideal gas law equation, we get

V=\frac{nRT}{P}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get the value of volume.

V=\frac{(5moles)\times (0.0821Latm/moleK)\times (273K)}{1atm}=112.0665L

Therefore, the volume of oxygen at STP is 112.0665 L

Who proposed the "Law of Octaves" for organizing events?
djyliett [7]

b

Explanation:

February 7, 1863, was the day John Newlands published a paper outlining what would be known as “The Law of Octaves”. Newlands discovered if he ordered the known elements by increasing atomic weight, the chemical properties of the elements would be similar for every eighth group

Pleaaaaase helppppppppppppp ASAP
laiz [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) The forward reaction is exothermic, hence when temperature is increased the equilibrium shift towards the reactants side to get rid of the excess energy. This will mean that more reactants are produced decreasing yield

b) There are a fewer number of moles of gas on the right side compared to the left side (Just count the coefficients before each compound) so a higher pressure will mean that the equilibrium will shift towards the products side in order to decrease the pressure. This will mean that more products are formed increasing yield

c) When something is powdered it's surface area to volume ratio increases. A higher surface area means that the particles around it have more area to work on so the frequency of collisions will increase increasing the rate of reaction. This is why iron is powdered.
