What is the chemical eauation for lead nitrate ammonia?
When you add ammonia solution to lead nitrate, the ammonia solution contains OH- ions and therefore, OH- ions will react with the lead nitrate rather than the ammonia.The nitrate ion is a spectator ion so it can be disregarded as it doesn't take part in the reaction:Pb+2 + 2OH- = Pb(OH)2 (s)So Pb(OH)2 (s) is your white precipitatePetar
How do you test for nitrate ions?
How to test for nitrate ions: 1) To the solid or solution you wish to test, add sodium hydroxide solution to provide alkaline conditions 2) Add aluminium foil 3) Heat gently 4) Ammonia gas is displaced if nitrate ions are present - you know that ammonia gas has been given of it it turns litmus paper blue
What happens when ammonium nitrate is added to sodium hydroxide?
it produces ammonia (NH3) and water; the nitrate and sodium ions are spectator ions and do not participate in the reaction. Hence, ionic equation: NH4+ + OH- -> NH3 + H2O
The difference between lead nitrate and silver nitrate?
Lead nitrate or Pb(NO3)2 , contains divalent lead ions. While Silver nitrate or AgNO3 , contains monovalent silver ions
What is the ratio of barium ions to nitrate ions?
If you mean in barium nitrate, the formula is Ba(NO3)2, which is a ratio of 1Ba:2NO3.
Are nitrate ions be leached completely from the soil easier than ammonia ions?
yes
What compounds do higher plants make starting with ammonia or nitrate ions?
proteins and nucleic acids

What three forms of nitrogen are found in waste products and decaying matter?
ammonia (NH3), nitrate ions (NO3-), nitrite ions (NO2-)

How are some of the nitrate ions made naturally?
Nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-) are naturally occurring inorganic ions that are part of the nitrogen cycle. Microbial action in soil or water decomposes wastes containing organic nitrogen into ammonia, which is then oxidized to nitrite and nitrate.
What happens in the reactions of aqueous bromide ions with aqueous silver nitrate following by the addition of concentrated aqueous ammonia?
Nothing
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 process effectively makes nitrogen unavailable for plant use?
The reduction of nitrate to gaseous nitrogen. Most plants cannot use atmospheric(gaseous) nitrogen. It must be "fixed" by bacteria in the ground. Plants use nitrogen in the forms of ammonia(NH4+) and nitrate ions(NO3-). source: http://ohioline.osu.edu/aex-fact/0463.html
How do you test for nitrates?
Add some iron (II) sulphate to the solution then slowly add concentrated sulfuric acid. If nitrates are present there will be a brown ring on the test tube. ---------------------------------------------- 1) Take a sample of the unknown solid or solution & add aluminium foil as well as sodium hydroxide solution 2) Heat gently 3) If ammonia gas is produced, then nitrate ions were present (nitrate ions have been reduced to ammonia). You know if the gas produced is ammonia if it turns litmus paper blue as it's alkaline & ammonia is the only common alkali gas.
Does nitrite form nitrate?
Nitrite ions can form nitrate ions by reacting with oxidizing agents such as the oxygen in air.
