Question

Use the balanced equation of a nitrogen cycle pathway below to support the conservation of matter and energy.

N2 + 8 H --> 2 NH3 + H2

Answer 1

Explanation :

Given equation

`N_(2) + 8H \rightarrow 2NH_(3) + H_(2)`

This equation is balanced. because the number of reactants is equal to the number of products.

According to conservation of matter and energy,

The conservation of matter and energy states that matter can not create and can not destroy but conserved. we can only change one form to another form of the matter and energy.

So, we can say energy conserved and the ,mass of the system always same over time.
