(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The processes of atmospheric and industrial fixation with high energy requirement have to be explained.

Concept introduction:

  • The elemental nitrogen can be converted into organic ammonia with the help of lightining, bacteria etc in a process known as nitrogen fixation.
  • Nitrification is the process in which the ammonia or ammonium is converted into nitrites and then to nitrates with the help of bacteria.
  • The nitrates or ammonia are used by plants.
  • Aerobic bacteria converts the nitrogen into ammonia from substances like animal wastes in a process known as ammonification.
  • Anaerobic bacteria converts the nitrates and nitrites into nitrogen gases in a process known as denitrification.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The way in which thermodynamics of atmospheric and industrial fixation differ has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

  • The elemental nitrogen can be converted into organic ammonia with the help of lightining, bacteria etc in a process known as nitrogen fixation.
  • Nitrification is the process in which the ammonia or ammonium is converted into nitrites and then to nitrates with the help of bacteria.
  • The nitrates or ammonia are used by plants.
  • Aerobic bacteria converts the nitrogen into ammonia from substances like animal wastes in a process known as ammonification.
  • Anaerobic bacteria converts the nitrates and nitrites into nitrogen gases in a process known as denitrification.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The source of the“great deal of energy” for nitrogen fixation has to be given.

Concept introduction:

  • The elemental nitrogen can be converted into organic ammonia with the help of lightining, bacteria etc in a process known as nitrogen fixation.
  • Nitrification is the process in which the ammonia or ammonium is converted into nitrites and then to nitrates with the help of bacteria.
  • The nitrates or ammonia are used by plants.
  • Aerobic bacteria converts the nitrogen into ammonia from substances like animal wastes in a process known as ammonification.
  • Anaerobic bacteria converts the nitrates and nitrites into nitrogen gases in a process known as denitrification.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The most obvious environmental result of low activation energy for nitrogen fixation has to be given.

Concept introduction:

  • The elemental nitrogen can be converted into organic ammonia with the help of lightining, bacteria etc in a process known as nitrogen fixation.
  • Nitrification is the process in which the ammonia or ammonium is converted into nitrites and then to nitrates with the help of bacteria.
  • The nitrates or ammonia are used by plants.
  • Aerobic bacteria converts the nitrogen into ammonia from substances like animal wastes in a process known as ammonification.
  • Anaerobic bacteria converts the nitrates and nitrites into nitrogen gases in a process known as denitrification.

Please answer the question and provide a detailed drawing of the structure. If there will not be a new C – C bond, then the box under the drawing area will be checked.  Will the following reaction make a molecule with a new C – C bond as its major product:  Draw the major organic product or products, if the reaction will work. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry.
Please do not use AI.  AI cannot "see" the molecules properly, and it therefore gives the wrong answer while giving incorrect descriptions of the visual images we're looking at.  All of these compounds would be produced (I think).  In my book, I don't see any rules about yield in this case, like explaining that one product would be present in less yield for this reason or that reason.  Please explain why some of these produce less yield than others.
