What is nitrogen mineralization?
Nitrogen Mineralization is the process in which organic forms of nitrogen {proteins in dead plant material} are converted by microbes to in-organic forms of nitrogen {ammonium & nitrate}
Dissolving ammonium nitrate in water is an endothermic process A sample of ammonium nitrate is placed in a beaker of water and immediately begins to dissolve What exactly occurs during this process?
the temperature of the solution decreases.
Is acetone used in the process of making ammonium nitrate?
No, it is not used, the industrial preparation of Ammonium Nitrate depends on simple neutralization reaction between ammonia (Base) and Nitric (Acid) giving Ammonium Nitrate. Even the process of prilling or granulation doesn't include addition of Acetone. I believe the Ammonium Nitrate Acetone mixture is hazard as it is a combination of strong oxidizer and highly inflammable substance. Regards;
What are the dangers of Ammonium Nitrate?
Nitrate (NO3-)is a powerful oxidizer which can rapidly and explosively react with various organic compounds. For instance, a common explosive in the mineral mining industry is ANFO, or Ammonium Nitrate Fuel-Oil, which is ammonium nitrate mixed with a hydrocarbon such as kerosene or diesel fuel.The ammonium (NH4+) in the compound contributes by combining with oxygen from the nitrate to create nitrogen gas (N2) and water (H2O). This process releases a large amount of energy, causing the gaseous products to expand dramatically.The combination of rapid oxidation of the hydrocarbons and ammonium cause a rapid increase in pressure and temperature - an explosion.Ammonium Nitrate can be dangerous because this reaction has a fairly low activation energy. At even mildly elevated temperatures, it's possible for a spark to start the reaction.Additionally, at higher temperatures, the nitrate can decompose. When this happens, the ammonium can react with the oxygen, catching fire. This process is less explosive than when the ammonium nitrate is mixed with a fuel, but it can still start fires, possibly leading to secondary explosions.
When placed into water will ammonium chloride decrease the temperature of the water?
The dissolution of ammonium chloride, like ammonium nitrate, is an endothermic process, meaning that it will absorb heat. The amount of heat absorbed per mole of ammonium chloride (53.49 g) is 14.7 kJ, enough to lower the temperature of one kilogram of water by 3.5 K.
What is the aerobic bacterial production process of nitrate and nitrite called?
LPITYHURED
When water and ammonium nitrate mixed the temperature decreases. what type of reaction is this and why?
It is not a chemical reaction; ammonium nitrate is dissociated in water and this process is endothermic.
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.

What is an advantage of ammonium nitrate?
- During the harber process the unused nitrogen and hydrogen are recycled.

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.
