Answer:

Group 1.

2Na(s) + O₂(g) → Na₂O(g) ;  2K(s) + O₂(g) → K₂O(g)

4Li (s)+ O₂(g) →   2Li₂O(g) ;  3 Rb(s) + RbO₂(g) → 2Rb₂O(g)

2Fr(s) + O₂(g) → Fr₂O(g) ;  2Cs+ O₂(g)  → Cs₂O(g)

Group 2.

2Mg(s) + O₂(g) → 2MgO(s) ; 2Be(s) + O₂(g) → 2BeO(s)

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s) ; 2Sr(s) + O₂(g) → 2SrO(s)

2Ba(s) + O₂(g) → 2BaO(s) ; 2Ra(s) + O₂(g) → 2RaO(s)

Explanation:

Elements from group 1 are: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs and Fr

When they react to oxygen, they produce the correspond oxide.

2Na(s) + O₂(g) → Na₂O(g)

2K(s) + O₂(g) → K₂O(g)

4Li (s)+ O₂(g) →   2Li₂O(g)

When Rb reacts with the oxygen, it makes the superoxide

Rb(s)+ O₂(g) → RbO₂(g)

The superoxide reduces to Rb₂O by excess of Rb, according to:

3 Rb(s) + RbO₂(g) → 2Rb₂O(g)

2Fr(s) + O₂(g) → Fr₂O(g)

2Cs+ O₂(g)  → Cs₂O(g)

In the presence of excess oxygen, Na and K forms peroxide

2Na(s) + O₂(g) → Na₂O₂(g)

2K(s) + O₂(g) → K₂O₂(g)

K also forms, the peroxide when it burns into the air

K(s) + O₂(g) → KO₂

Group 2. 2Mg(s) + O₂(g) → 2MgO(s)

2Be(s) + O₂(g) → 2BeO(s) It does not react in water, so we can't produce, the Be(OH)₂ but the hidroxide surely, can be decomposed:

2Be(OH)₂ → 2BeO + 2H₂O

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s)

2Sr(s) + O₂(g) → 2SrO(s)

2Ba(s) + O₂(g) → 2BaO(s)

2Ra(s) + O₂(g) → 2RaO(s)

what type of bacteria use the enzyme nitrate reductase to metabolize nitrogen oxides and transform them back to nitrogen gas?
stealth61 [152]

Denitrifying Bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the type of bacteria that use enzyme nitrate reductase to metabolise nitrogen oxides to nitrogen gas.

Denitrification is the process whereby nitrites or nitrogen oxides is converted to nitrogen gas by a denitrifying Bacteria such as Pseudomonas.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses enzyme nitrate reductase to reduce nitrate to nitrite.

Then nitrite is then converted back to nitrogen gas.

Therefore, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a type of bacteria that uses enzyme nitrate reductase.

Examples of isotones
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Examples of isotones include carbon-12, nitrogen-13 and oxygen-14. These atoms all have six neutrons and six, seven and eight protons respectively. A mnemonic that can be used to differentiate isotones from isotopes and isobars is as follows: same Z (number of protons) = isotopes.
