What is difference between nitrification and ammonification?

Ammonification is conversion of peptides, amino acids, and nucleic acids into ammonia in the form of NH3. It's done by microorganisms such as Bacillus spp., Proteus spp., and Pseudomonas spp. and usually takes place in soil. It can be either an oxidative or reductive process. Nitrification is the conversion of ammonia in the form of NH4- to NO3- through a two-stage process both involving the addition of oxygen (oxidation). Nitrification 1 converts NH4- to NO2- by ammonium oxidising bacteria e.g. Nitrosomonas spp. Nitrification 2 converts NO2- to NO3- by nitrite oxidising bacteria e.g. Nitrobacter spp..


What reaction occurs between two bases?

Normally no reaction will occur between two bases.


What will happen if molecules will bump into each other?

It depends on a variety of factors. Firstly, it depends on which molecules are bumping into eachother. Depending on what they are, a reaction might occur, such as the bonding of the two molecules. If it is possible that these two molecules react together, whether they bond or not depends on two factors: firstly, their energy and secondly, their orientation. They need to have enough energy (called the activation energy) and need to be in the right position, otherwise they won't react. If molecules bump into eachother and don't react, they will bounce off eachother.


What two factors determine the point which a liquid will boil?

(Explanation): phase diagrams are all about showing what phase a substance will be at at different temperatures and pressures. This is because these are the only two factors that affect it. Therefore, pressure and temperature are the two factors that determine the boiling point.


What are the factors that affect changes in matter?

Pressure and temperature are two factors that both affect the state of any type of matter.
