Following reaction occurs in the given electrochemical system:
→ Fe +
Thus, under standard conditions
E(0) = E(0) Fe2+/Fe - E(0) Zn2+/Zn
where,
= standard reduction potential of Fe2+/Fe = -0.44 v
= standard reduction potential of Zn2+/Zn = -0.763 v
E(0) = 0.323 v
now, we know that, ΔG(0) =-nFE(0) ............... (1)
Also, Δ
On equating and rearranging equation 1 and 2, we get
K = exp(
)= exp (
) = 8.46 x
A mineral is a naturally occurring , solid, crystalline substance with a specific chemical composition. Minerals are usually inorganic and are formed by ionic, covalent or metallic bonding. Ionic bonds are the dominant type of bonds in mineral strictures. 90% of all minerals are ionic compounds. Minerals bonded by covalent bonds are strong, for example carbon bonded together to form diamond. Metallic bonds are a type of covalent bonds where the atoms have a strong tendency to lose electrons and pack together as cations.
<u>Answer:</u>
Nitrogen gas be a mineral only, if it is in organic forms.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Most of the forms of organic nitrogen is not be taken by plants, with the exception in the form of small organic molecules. Also plants can promptly take the nitrogen when it is in other forms like ammonia and nitrate.
The microorganisms in the soil converts the organic forms of nitrogen to mineral form when they decompose organic matters and also fresh plant residues. This type of process is called mineralisation.
