What is the process in which nitrate and nitrite ions are converted into nitrous oxide gas and nitrogen gas?
Nitrogen fixation is one process by which molecular nitrogen is reduced to form ammonia. This complex process is carried out by nitrogen-fixing bacteria present in the soil.
Where does the ammonia in the water come from?
Ammonia can be found in the water when either animal waste or a decaying animals nitrogen is converted by bacteria in a process call ammonification.
How is nitric acid prepared in the lab.?
Nitric acid is produced mainly by oxidation of ammonia, called the Oswald Process. Small amounts can be produced by the treatment of sodium nitrate with sulfuric acid.
What is the process for the extraction of silver nitrate from photographic waste?
please i need the process of extracting silver nitrate from photographic waste
Where is ammonia produced?
Many countries produce ammonia. We make it by habour process.
If ammonium ions are converted to nitrate and nitrite to ions through which process?
This biochemical process is named nitrification.

What is the aerobic bacterial production process of nitrate and nitrite called?
LPITYHURED
The process of nitrification results when chemoautotrophic bacteria oxidize ammonia into?
Nitrite.
Which process describes nitrogen fixation?
Bacteria combines with hydrogen to make ammonia, which is changed and turned into compounds such as nitrate or nitrogeNitrogen fixation is the natural process, either biological or abiotic, by which nitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere is converted into ammonia (NH3).
What cycle occurs in the aquarium?
Nitrogen Cycle occurs in the aquarium.Fish produce ammonia which is toxic. In a well established aquarium, Some beneficial bacteria will break down the ammonia into nitrite, and a second species of bacteria will break down nitrite into less harmful nitrate. The whole process of converting ammonia into nitrite and then into nitrate is called nitrogen cycle.Although, only well established fish tanks have this nitrogen cycle going normally.For new aquariums, fish keepers must do fishless nitrogen cycle before they add any fish at all, or the fish will risk dying to ammonia poisoning due to insufficient amount of good bacteria. The whole fishless nitrogen cycle process can take 6~8 weeks.
What you call it the process of converting ammonia to-urine?
There is a small amount of ammonia in urine. Ammonia is not converted to urine.
Why was the haber process important?
The Haber process began to produce ammonia to be oxidized to Nitrite and Nitrate and then made into nitric acid, a basic reagent for explosives. It is now used to make ammonia for ammonium nitrate for fertilizer. The Haber process uses the chemical reaction N2 + 3 H2 --> 2 NH3.
How do the plants and fish in the aquarium show balance of nature?
They do not "show" balance of nature. What could be happening is, your planted aquarium could be a "balanced aquarium" or be in the process of becomming one. In a 'balanced aquarium' the living creatures (fish etc) produce waste products. These products decay and become poisonous (Ammonia). Without a natural balance of other organisms (Bacteria) the living creatures in the tank would all be poisoned by the ammonia. What happens in a balanced aquarium is. The Waste Products produce Decay which produces (deadly) Ammonia. Aerobic bacteria convert Ammonia into (deadly) NitrIte and then into (harmless) NitrAte. The plants can then use up the NitrAte and in the process of photosynthesis, produce Oxygen, some of which is used up by the fish etc. In todays aquaria most of this 'Ammonia to Nitrate' conversion is carried out in a filter that has been 'cycled'. Cycled simply means that the filters' media have suffucient aerobic bacteria to perform this Ammonia to Nitrate 'conversion'.
What process do dead animals and plants get converted into ammonia?
When animals die they decompose, making ammonia. Their waste products also produce ammonia
What is a nitrogen-fixing?
nitrogen fixing is a process in which atmosphere nitrogen converted into ammonia.
What is a nitrogen fixing?
nitrogen fixing is a process in which atmosphere nitrogen converted into ammonia.
