Interpretation: The sources of nitrogen and the nitrogen compounds present in surface water are to be given.
Concept introduction:
Nitrogen cycle: The cycle by which conversion of nitrogen into various chemical forms are done through biological and physical process. Nitrogen cycle is an important process in-order to balance the eco system. The conversion of nitrogen into its oxidation state is the most important thing.
Contamination of water bodies: Water bodies are getting contaminated as a result of the human activities. The presence of nitrates, phosphates…in the sources of water are making it unavailable for drinking. Industrial waste, sewage waste are the main sources for the presence of the chemicals in water sources.

- What is the mole fraction of H 2 S O 4 in a solution containingthe percentage of sulfuric acid and water shownin Figure 14.25?arrow_forwardA bubble of air escaping from a diver's mask rises from a depth of 155 ft to the surface where the pressure is 1.00 atm. Initially, the bubble has a volume of 10.0 mL. Assuming none of the air dissolves in the water, how many times larger is the bubble just as it reaches the surface? Use this data: 1. The density of seawater is approximately 1.025 g mL! 2. The density of mercury is 13.6 g mL 47 times larger Use your answer to explain why scuba divers constantly exhale as they slowly rise from a deep dive. Since the pressure decreases by a factor of approximately factor of approximately 47 the volume must Increase : by a Divers exhale to decreases the amount of gas in their lungs, so it does not expand : to a volume larger than the diver's lungs.arrow_forwardThe amount of water present on Earth is constant.

- A bubble of air escaping from a diver's mask rises from a depth of 108 ft to the surface where the pressure is 1.00 atm. Initially, the bubble has a volume of 10.0 mL. Assuming none of the air dissolves in the water, how many times larger is the bubble just as it reaches the surface? Use this data: 1. The density of seawater is approximately 1.025 g ml-1 2. The density of mercury is 13.6 g ml-1 i times larger Use your answer to explain why scuba divers constantly exhale as they slowly rise from a deep dive. Since the pressure by a factor of approximately i , the volume must by a factor of approximately i Divers exhale to the amount of gas in their lungs, so it does not to a volume than the diver's lungs.arrow_forwardA bubble of air escaping from a diver's mask rises from a depth of 159 ft to the surface where the pressure is 1.00 atm.
