Below are the reduction half reactions for chemolithoautotrophic denitrification, where hydrogen is a source of electrons and energy and nitrate is the terminal electron acceptor. NO3 + 10e-> N₂ (E° = +0.74 V) • H+ + 2e -> H₂ (E° = -0.42 V) If you balance and combine the reactions so that 110 moles of H₂ gas are oxidized to H*, how many moles of NO3 will be reduced to dinitrogen gas?
