How do nitrates produced?
in nature nitrogen from the atmosphere is converted to ammonia by nitrifying bacteria ammonia is then converted to nitrite and then to nitrate by nitrogen fixing bacteria. nitrate is converted back to nitrogen by denitrifying bacteria
Ammonium nitrite and sodium hydroxide?
Ammonium nitrate and sodium hydroxide form sodium nitrate, water, and ammonia. NH4NO3 + NaOH --> NaNO3 + NH3 + H2O
What are the three components in order of administration used to treat cyanide exposure?
Amyl nitrite, sodium nitrite, sodium thiosulfate
What is the valency of nitrite?
the valency for nitrite is 5
What is the ionic charge in aluminum nitrite?
Aluminium nitrite is a neutral compound.
Is nitrogen in the form of ammonia nitrate and nitrite is found in the soil?
Ammonia nitrate is used as fertilizer; ammonium nitrite is only a contaminant.

Soil bacteria change ammonia into what?
Nitrite.
What is the term for the conversion of ammonia to nitrite and then to nitrate?
Nitrification
The process of nitrification results when chemoautotrophic bacteria oxidize ammonia into?
Nitrite.
What are three nitrogen-conaining nutrients in the biosphere?
ammonia (NH3) nitrate (NO3-) nitrite (NO2-)
What ammonia levels should you expect while cycling your tank?
They can vary tremendously. Keep up the cycling until the reading is zero Ammonia and zero Nitrite.
How NH3 content in the tropical fish aquarium may be controlled?
The only way to control deadly poisonous Ammonia and Nitrite is to have a properly cycled filter. The naturally occurring bacteria in the 'cycled' filter media, converts the ammonia firstly into nitrIte and then converts the nitrIte into relatively harmless nitrAte. Regular water changes prevent the nitrAte from building up to dangerous levels.
What is an energy source for bacteria?
Ammonia... They convert ammonia to nitrite and use the energy released... Link-- http://jb.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/185/23/6809
You just got a new tank and all the fish in it died Should you emty it out and refill it before you put new fish in it?
No, leave the tank for several days, then get your water tested for ammonia and nitrite. Depending on the results, either get a FEW new fish, or let the aquarium run until the ammonia and nitrite are gone.
What does the nitrogen cycle have to do with the most common reason why fish die?
The most common fish deaths are a result of ammonia or nitrite poisoning, in which the biological filtration has not been well established. The nitrogen cycle turns fish wastes to ammonia (which is toxic), then nitrite (still toxic), and finally, nitrate (not toxic in low concentrations).
How do you cure live rock?
Live rock is cured by putting it in the aquarium, with all the systems running, for several weeks until any die off has occured. You can monitor the cycle by testing for ammonia, which will spike first, and then nitrite, which will spike second. Once ammonia AND nitrite levels are back to zero, the liverock is cured.
