When ammonium nitrate dissolves in water, the solution becomes cold.

In sediments and waterlogged soil, dissolved O2 concentrations are so low that the microorganisms living there must rely on othe

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

1) SO₄ ²⁻ : (+6)

H₂S : (-2)

Explanation:

a) Sulfate reducers are widespread in muds and other sediments, water-logged soils, etc., environments that contain SO₄ ²⁻ and become anoxic as a result of microbial decomposition.

Sulfate (SO₄ ²⁻), the most oxidized form of sulfur (+6), is reduced by these

sulfate-reducing bacteria. The end product of sulfate reduction is hydrogen sulfide, H₂S, (oxidation number -2) an important natural product that participates in many biogeochemical processes. The H₂S they generate is responsible for the pungent smell (like that of rotten eggs) often encountered near coastal ecosystems. When sulfate-reducing bacteria grow, the H₂S formed from SO₄ ²⁻ reduction combines with the ferrous iron to form black, insoluble ferrous sulfide, which is not toxic. This is important for the conservation of the environment.

b) The net ionic equation under acidic conditions is:

4 H₂ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺ → HS⁻ + 4 H₂O

Global reaction: SO₄²⁻ + 2H⁺ → H₂S + O₂

Water has a high specific heat because: Select one: a. it is a poor insulator b. hydrogen bonds must be broken to raise its temp

Crank

<h2>The required "option is b) hydrogen bonds must be broken to raise its temperature.</h2>

Explanation:

Water has high specific heat due to hydrogen bonds present in it.
The Ionisation of water does not affect the specific heat of the water.
On decreasing the temperature, there is the formation of bonds hence option (d) is wrong.
On increasing the temperature, there is the breaking of bonds hence option (b) is correct.

Cytochromes are critical participants in the electron transport chains used in photosynthesis and cellular respiration. How do c

goblinko [34]

Answer:

4) Each cytochrome has an iron‑containing heme group that accepts electrons and then donates the electrons to a more electronegative substance.

Explanation:

The cytochromes are proteins that contain heme prosthetic groups. Cytochromes undergo oxidation and reduction through loss or gain of a single electron by the iron atom in the heme of the cytochrome:

$Cytochrome-Fe²⁺ ⇄ cytochrome-Fe³⁺-e⁻$

The reduced form of ubiquinone (QH₂), an extraordinarily mobile transporter, transfers electrons to cytochrome reductase, a complex that contains cytochromes b and c₁, and a Fe-S center. This second complex reduces cytochrome c, a water-soluble membrane peripheral protein. Cytochrome c, like ubiquinone (Q), is a mobile electron transporter, which is transferred to cytochrome oxidase. This third complex contains the cytochromes a, a₃ and two copper ions. Heme iron and a copper ion of this oxidase transfer electrons to O₂, as the last acceptor, to form water.

Each transporter "downstream" is more electronegative than its neighbor "upstream"; oxygen is located in the inferior part of the chain. Thus, the electrons fall in an energetic gradient in the electron chain transport to a more stable localization in the electronegative oxygen atom.

The city is using sand trucks to place on the road during ice conditions which best explians the use of the sand

Stolb23 [73]

The sand provides a rough surface on top of the ice for the cars' tires to grip onto. It provides more friction. Salt melts the ice and often provides more friction (the disadvantage is that it eats concrete!).
