Cycles In Nature Flashcards
What is produced in aerobic respiration?
Carbon dioxide and water
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O + sun = 6O2 + C6H12O6
What are the products of carbon with air and without?
CH4 and CO2
What are the products of nitrogen with air and without?
NH3 and NO3-
What are the products of phosphorus with air and without?
PO4 3- and PH3 (phosphine)
What are the products of Sulfur with air and without?
SO4 2- and H2S
What is nitrogen fixation?
N2 with heat forms nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitric acid, nitrate ions, reach plants
Nitrifying bacteria does what?
Turns N2 to soluble nitrates (ammonia first)
How to balance half equations?
Elements
Oxygen (add water)
Hydrogen (add acid)
Electrons (add to most + side)
What is industrial nitrogen fixation?
Haber process
High temps react N2 with H2
Forms ammonia
What is the role of denitrifying bacteria?
Turns nitrates into nitrogen
Found in anaerobic conditions
Rice paddies
