The best carbon to nitrogen ration for biogas production is between 20 and 30.
This ratio in CaO is 1.
An interesting piece of historical chemistry. Carbonate has a valance of -2. Calcium has a valance of +2. When we talk of Cacium Carbonate we have a 1:1 ratio of Calcium to Carbon. Bicarbonate has a valance of -1 so when we combined Bicarbonate with Cacium we need two Bicarbonate ions to satisfy one Calcium ion therefore we have a ratio of 2:1 Calcium to Carbon. So the name, you see, refers not to the ion itself but to the quantities needed to satify chemical equations when compared to carbonate. It isn't rigorous science but back in the early 18th century they didn't do things all that rigorously.

Air is mainly Nitrogen and Oxygen in the ratio 4 to 1. There are traces of Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapour and other gasses,
The best carbon to nitrogen ration for biogas production is between 20 and 30.
A compost with a carbon to nitrogen ratio not in excess of 35 to 1 is the compost that has the most nutrients. Higher ratios make the compost's nitrogen inaccessible and unavailable. Yard wastes have high nitrogen and organic content and moderate calcium and phosphorus presences.
Ten to 30 to 1 (10:1, 30:1) is the carbon-nitrogen ratio of organic manure. Animal manure may range from 10:1 to 20:1. Animal manure that benefits from bedding straw, whose carbon/nitrogen ratio is about 80:1, realizes the desirable composting ratio of 25:1 to 30:1.
Oxidized carbon generates heat in the compost bin.Specifically, a compost bin has to have moisture and materials which are carbon- and nitrogen-rich. There must be about a 27:1 ratio between carbon and nitrogen. The oxygen in water and nitrogen work to oxidize the bin's energy source, carbon.
Carbon and nitrogen -- through human-intervened composting or nature-induced erosion -- are most responsible for the organic matter in humus.Specifically, organic matter contains the organic compounds carbon and nitrogen. Carbon functions as the energy-driving source. Proper composting and erosion result in soil with a 10:1 ratio of carbon to nitrogen.
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Carbohydrates have a ratio of CHO of 1:2:1. Fats have CHO but with a different ratio. Proteins have CHO and nitrogen.
Geologists use carbon-14, an isotope of carbon, and nitrogen-14 in radiocarbon dating. Carbon-14 is absorbed by all living organisms during their lifetime, and by measuring the ratio of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 in a sample, geologists can determine its age.
Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus. The precise ratio will depend on the exact sequence of base pairs.
No, the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen is not changed by altitude.
The ratio of the gases in the atmosphere changes as the altitude increases.Dry air contains 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases.. which equates to:78 hundredths of nitrogen gas, 20/ hundredths- or approx 1/5th of oxygen , less than 1percent or- 1, hundredth of argon
Yes. Mushrooms (fungi) have a C:N (carbon-to-nitrogen) ratio of 12:1, while the ratio for finished compost is 20-25:1. Adding mushrooms to a compost pile is a way of adding nitrogen, so the high-carbon ("brown") materials break down more quickly and evenly. Toxins in mushrooms are also broken down during the composting process.
In the atmosphere, dry air contains 78.09% nitrogen and 20.95% oxygen by volume. Thus the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen is about 3.7:1.
