The process where bacteria takes nitrogen out of the air and makes it usable for other organisms is called

Chemistry
1 answer:
Likurg_2 [28]3 years ago
7 0

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.

What is the limiting factor in determining the accumulation of siliceous ooze/calcareous ooze, respectively?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

productivity and water depth

Explanation:

The productivity and the depth of water are both equally important as it directly affects the accumulation of biogenic sediments such as the siliceous ooze and calcareous ooze. In the equator and the coastal upwelling areas, and at the site of divergence of oceans, there occurs a high rate and amount of productivity, and these are considered to be the primary productivity.  

The siliceous oozes are a good indicator of extensively high productivity in comparison to the carbonate oozes. The main reason behind this is that the silica can be easily dissolved in the surface water. On the other hand, the carbonates dissolve at a relatively lower ocean water depth, so there requires a high amount of surface productivity in order to allow these siliceous oozes to reach the ocean bottom.

Thus, the water depth and productivity, both are considered as the limiting factor in determining the accumulation of biogenic oozes.

A sample of 211 g of iron (III) bromide is reacted with
Alisiya [41]

FeBr₃ ⇒ limiting reactant

mol NaBr = 1.428

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

2FeBr₃ + 3Na₂S → Fe₂S₃ + 6NaBr

Limiting reactant⇒ smaller ratio (mol divide by coefficient reaction)

  • FeBr₃

211 g of Iron (III) bromide(MW=295,56 g/mol), so mol FeBr₃ :

\tt n=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\n=\dfrac{211}{295,56}\\\\n=0.714

  • Na₂S

186 g of Sodium sulfide(MW=78,0452 g/mol), so mol Na₂S :

\tt n=\dfrac{186}{78.0452}=2.38

Coefficient ratio from the equation FeBr₃ :  Na₂S = 2 : 3, so mol ratio :

\tt FeBr_3\div Na_2S=\dfrac{0.714}{2}\div \dfrac{2.38}{3}=0.357\div 0.793

So  FeBr₃ as a limiting reactant(smaller ratio)

mol NaBr based on limiting reactant (FeBr₃) :

\tt \dfrac{6}{3}\times 0.714=1.428

The nucleus of an element contains more protons then electrons.this is referred to a?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

ion

However atoms may gain or lose electrons in ordinary chemical reactions. If an atom has the same number of electrons as protons, it is a neutral atom. If it has a net charge, (more or less electrons than protons) it is an ion. If it has more electrons than protons it has a net negative charge and is known as an anion.
