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).

Write the balanced reaction using the fewest whole number coefficients to describe the reaction between gaseous hydrogen and gas

Anastasy [175]

Answer: The percentage yield of water is 9.5 %

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of hydrogen = 14 moles

Moles of oxygen = 10 moles

The chemical equation for the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of hydrogen gas reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas

So, 14 moles of hydrogen gas will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 14=7mol$ of oxygen gas

As, given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent

Thus, hydrogen gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of hydrogen gas produces 2 moles of water

So, 14 moles of hydrogen gas will produce = $\frac{1}{2}\times 14=7mol$ of water

To calculate the percentage yield of water, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of water = 1.33 moles

Theoretical yield of water = 14 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of water}=\frac{1.33mol}{14mol}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of water}=9.5\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the water is 9.5 %.

To reduce 16 ounces of a 25% solution of antiseptic to a 10% solution, how much distilled water should a nurse add?

NemiM [27]

Let x = amt of distilled water
:
A simple equation
.25(16) = .10(x+16)
4 = .10x + 1.6

4 - 1.6 = .1x
2.4 = .1x
x = 2.4/0.1
x = 24 oz of distilled water
:
:
Prove this by seeing the amt of antiseptic is the same (only the % changes)
.25(16) = .10(24+16)
4 = .1(40)
