Which best compares the roles of nitrogen-fixing bacteria and certain decomposers in the nitrogen cycle?

Chemistry

Answer:

The bacteria convert free nitrogen into nitrogen-containing compounds, while the decomposers convert nitrogen-containing compounds into free nitrogen.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is an essential element for all living organisms. It is required for synthesis protein and nucleic acids and other nitrogenous compounds. Some nitrogen fixing organisms such as Rhizobium, fixes atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) into usable forms such as nitrate (NO₃⁻) or ammonium (NH₄⁺ ) in the soil. The plants take up (NO₃⁻) and (NH₄⁺ )by absorption from the soil by their roots and make protein and nucleic acids.  Animals take up nitrogen by eating plants.  On death of a plant or animal and the nitrogenous waste produced by animals, decomposers such as bacteria and fungi convert this organic nitrogen into ammonium (NH4⁺) and later into NO₂⁻ and NO₃⁻. Denitrifying bacteria change NO₃⁻ into free nitrogen (N₂).

Acetylene gas (c2h2) reacts with oxygen gas (o2) to produce carbon dioxide (co2) and water vapor (h2o). how many liters of c2h2
MissTica
According to the balanced equation of the reaction:

2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O

So we can mention all as liters,

A) as we see that 2 liters of C2H2 react with 5 liters of oxygen to produce 4 liters of CO4 and 2 liters of H2O 

So, when we have 75L of CO2

and when we have 2 L of C2H2 reacts and gives 4 L of CO2

 2C2H2 → 4CO2 

∴ The volume of C2H2 required is:

                    = 75L / 2

                    = 37.5 L

B) and, when we have 75 L of CO2


and 4CO2 → 2H2O 

∴ the volume of H2O required is: 
                               
                            = 75 L /2
                            = 37.5 L 


C) and from the balanced equation and by  the same way:

when 5 liters O2  reacts to give 4 liters of CO2

and we have 75 L of CO2:

5 O2 → 4 CO2 

   ??  ←  75 L

∴ the volume of O2 required is:

                              = 75 *(5/4)

                              = 93.75 L



D) about the using of the number of moles the answer is: 

no, there is no need to find the number of moles as we called everything in the balanced equation by liters and use it as a liter unit to get the volume, without the need to get the number of moles.

The different molecules that make up the air in a room have on average the same kinetic energy. How does the speed of the differ
kap26 [50]
The formula for kinetic energy is KE=1/2(mv²).  Since both mass and velocity are multiplied by each other, particle with a larger mass needs to be moving slower than a particle with less mass if both have the same kinetic energy. You can think of it as 2KE/m=v² or 2KE/v²=m, If you increase the mass the velocity needs to decrease to keep the same KE value.

I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

The The thermal conductivity of a sheet of rigid, extruded insulation is reported to be k=0.029 W/ m measured temperature differ
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Heat flux = 13.92 W/m2

Rate of heat transfer throug the 3m x 3m sheet = 125.28 W

The thermal resistance of the 3x3m sheet is 0.0958 K/W

Explanation:

The rate of heat transfer through a 3m x 3m sheet of insulation can be calculated as:

q=-k*A*\frac{\Delta T}{\Delta X}\\\\q=-0.029\frac{W}{m*K}*(3m*3m)*\frac{12K}{0.025m}  =125.28W

The heat flux can be defined as the amount of heat flow by unit of area.

Using the previous calculation, we can estimate the heat flux:

heat \, flux=\frac{q}{A}=\frac{125.28 W}{9 m^{2} }  =13.92 W/m^{2}

It can also be calculated as:

q/A=-k*\frac{\Delta T}{\Delta X}

The thermal resistance can be expressed as

\Delta T=R_t*Q\\R_t=\Delta T/Q=\frac{\Delta X}{k*A}

For the 3m x 3m sheet, the thermal resistance is

R_t = \frac{\Delta X}{k*A}=\frac{0.025m}{0.029W/mK*9m^{2}}=0.0958 \, K/W

What do greenhouse gases do in our atmosphere?
Vitek1552 [10]

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases are gases in Earth's atmosphere that trap heat. They let sunlight pass through the atmosphere, but they prevent the heat that the sunlight brings from leaving the atmosphere.

What must break in order for water to change from solid to liquid to gas? what must break in order for water to change from soli
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

hydrogen bonds between water molecules

Explanation:

The hydrogen bonds between water molecules conditions the bulk of its physical property most especially its relatively high boiling point. The hydrogen bond results from the attraction between the oxygen of a water molecule and the hydrogen of another water molecule. The more electronegative oxygen atom causes a distortion and the attraction leads to a strong intermolecular bond between atoms of the water molecules.

Hydrogen bond is a very strong bond and it is responsible for the physical properties of water.
