Answer:
(a). Biological fixation
(b). Fixation by lightning
Explanation:
Gaseous nitrogen in the atmosphere has to be converted or "fixed" into a suitable form before it can be utilised by living organisms.
There two main ways of nitrogen fixation are
(a). Biological fixation: Majority (approximately 90%) of nitrogen fixation is carried out by bacteria. Bacterias such as Cyanobacteria transforms nitrogen into ammonium and ammonia : N2 + 3 H2 → 2 NH3. The produced ammonia can then be taken in directly by plants and /or the conversion products of ammonium and ammonia may further react in the process of nitrification.
(b). Fixation by lightning: Lightning energy causes the combination nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) forming nitrates (NO3) and ammonia (NH3) . Rain water dissolves the formed nitrates and ammonia and the solution is drained into the ground, where they can be reached by plants plant roots for consumption.
Answer:
Q = -1045 J
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of water = 5.00 g
Initial temperature = 348.0 K
Final temperature = 298.0 K
Heat given off = ?
Solution:
Specific heat capacity:
It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.
Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g.K
Formula:
Q = m.c. ΔT
Q = amount of heat absorbed or released
m = mass of given substance
c = specific heat capacity of substance
ΔT = change in temperature
ΔT = 298.0 K - 348.0 K
ΔT = - 50 K
Q = 5.0 g ×4.18 J/g.K× - 50 K
Q = -1045 J
