nitrogen fixation\n\nNot sure about the details, but I think that fungi or bacteria on plant's roots do this.

Nitrogen fixation is the process by which nitrogen is taken from its relatively inert molecular form (N2) in the atmosphere and converted into nitrogen compounds useful for other chemical processes (such as, notably, ammonia, nitrate and nitrogen dioxide).\n\nNitrogen fixation is performed naturally by a number of different prokaryotes, including bacteria, actinobacteria and heterocysts, certain types of anaerobic bacteria. Many higher plants, and some animals (termites), have formed associations with these microorganisms.

There are no naturally occurring compounds of argon, whereas nitrogen compounds are abundant (biogenic ammonia and nitrates, lightning induced oxides of nitrogen, etc). There is, as far as I know, exactly one artificial argon compound, argon hexafluoride (ref.). It is extremely unstable.\nSo at least you have a binary comparison: argon is more inert than nitrogen.

nitrous gas is called laughing gas but not because it makes you laugh... >surprise<\n\nit has a stinging odor and its vapors when inhaled make you cough up... this probably is the "laughing"... it can also irritate your eye...\n\nwhen you cough, i don't think you can talk at all... but i think, if ever you can, it still depends on the quality of voice you have... \n\n\n:-) chemical engineering student...

actually nitrogen constitute 78% of earths atmosphere.\n\n\nNitrogen is created as part of the fusion processes in stars so thats where nitrogen comes from.

nitrogen is an extremely abundant element in the atmosphere, even more so than oxygen.  it would only take a curious mind to try to separate the elements.\n\n\n\nHere is the History section of nitrogen's wikipedia page:\n\nNitrogen (Latin nitrum, Greek Nitron meaning "native soda", "genes", "forming") is formally considered to have been discovered by Daniel Rutherford in 1772, who called it noxious air or fixed air. That there was a fraction of air that did not support combustion was well known to the late 18th century chemist. Nitrogen was also studied at about the same time by Carl Wilhelm Scheele, Henry Cavendish, and Joseph Priestley, who referred to it as burnt air or phlogisticated air. Nitrogen gas was inert enough that Antoine Lavoisier referred to it as azote, from the Greek word αζωτος meaning "lifeless". This term has become the French word for "nitrogen" and later spread out to many other languages.\n\nCompounds of nitrogen were known in the Middle Ages. The alchemists knew nitric acid as aqua fortis. The mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids was known as aqua regia, celebrated for its ability to dissolve gold. The earliest industrial and agricultural applications of nitrogen compounds used it in the form of saltpeter (sodium- or potassium nitrate), notably in gunpowder, and much later, as fertilizer, and later still, as a chemical feedstock.

Hey Dude! Do you know how many different types of gases there are!!!! Do you! I can't even list all the types of gases here! Jeez!

#3:   113.6g ammonia is the maxium that can be produced, i think.\n\nBecause:   when you set up the problem you do:   5 moles N2 x 2 moles of NH3 (coming from the balanced equation) x 17.04g NH3 (formula mass) equaling.....170.4g NH3\n\nthen....\n\nyou have to do it again with the other number(10 moles of H2)\n\n10 moles H2 x 2 moles NH3 / 3 moles H2 x 17.04 equaling....113.6.   \n\nyou pick the lowest number becuase that is the maxium you can have.   so your answer is 113.6g NH3.\n\n\n\n#4:   15.33g NO2 is the maxium that can be produced \n\nbecause: 20g of O2 to grams of NO2.  To do that, you do...20g O2 / 32g O2 (Formula mass of O2) x 46.0g NO2 (formula mass of NO2)\nwhich equals......28.76\n\nthen do:\n\n10gNO / 30.0g NO (formula mass of NO) x 46.01(formula mass of NO2) and that equals....15.33\n\nso your answer is the lowest number which is 15.33.\n\n\ni hope that helps and i hope i'm right...

Listen to IBL.  Metaraison's first and last sentences were right, but the transition from gas to solid is called deposition, not freezing.\n\nNames for phase transisitions:\ngas to liquid: condensation\nliquid to gas: boiling\ngas to solid: deposition\nsolid to gas: sublimation\nliquid to solid: freezing\nsolid to liquid: melting

Nitrogen Cycle, natural cyclic process in the course of which atmospheric nitrogen enters the soil and becomes part of living organisms, before returning to the atmosphere. Nitrogen, an essential part of the amino acids, is a basic element of life. It also makes up 79 per cent of the Earth's atmosphere, but gaseous nitrogen must be converted to a chemically usable form before it can be used by living organisms. This is accomplished through the nitrogen cycle, in which gaseous nitrogen is converted to ammonia or nitrates (salts of nitric acid). The high energies provided by lightning and cosmic radiation serve to combine atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen into nitrates, which are carried to the Earth's surface in precipitation. Nitrogen fixation, the biological process which accounts for the bulk of the nitrogen-conversion process, is accomplished by free-living, nitrogen-fixing bacteria; symbiotic bacteria living on the roots of plants (mostly legumes and alders); cyanobacteria; certain lichens; and epiphytes in tropical forests.\n\nNitrogen “fixed” as ammonia and nitrates is taken up directly by plants and incorporated in their tissues as plant proteins. The nitrogen then passes through the food chain from plants to herbivores to carnivores in the process known as the food web. When plants and animals die, the nitrogenous compounds are broken down by decomposing into ammonia, a process called ammonification. Some of this ammonia is taken up by plants; the rest is dissolved in water or held in the soil, where micro-organisms convert it into nitrates and nitrites in a process called nitrification. Nitrates may be stored in decomposing humus or leached from the soil and carried to streams and lakes. They may also be converted to free nitrogen through denitrification and returned to the atmosphere.\n\nIn natural systems, nitrogen lost by denitrification, leaching, erosion, and similar processes is replaced by fixation and other nitrogen sources. Human intrusion in the nitrogen cycle, however, can result in less nitrogen being cycled, or in an overload of the system. For example, the cultivation of croplands, harvesting of crops, and cutting of forests have all caused a steady decline of nitrogen in the soil. (Some of the losses on agricultural lands are replaced only by applying energy-expensive nitrogenous fertilizers manufactured by artificial fixation.) On the other hand, the leaching of nitrogen from overfertilized croplands, cutover forestland, and animal wastes and sewage has contributed to water pollution by adding too much nitrogen to aquatic ecosystems, resulting in reduced water quality and the stimulation of excessive algal growth. In addition, nitrogen dioxide poured into the atmosphere from vehicle exhausts and power plants breaks down to form ozone and reacts with other atmospheric pollutants to form photochemical smog.\n\n\nCarbon Cycle (ecology), in ecology, the cycle of carbon usage by which energy flows through the Earth's ecosystem. The basic cycle begins when photosynthesizing plants use carbon dioxide (CO2) found in the atmosphere or dissolved in water. Some of this carbon is incorporated in plant tissue as carbohydrates, fats, and protein; the rest is returned to the atmosphere or water by respiration. Carbon is thus passed on to herbivores that eat the plants and thereby use, rearrange, and degrade the carbon compounds. Much of it is given off as CO2 in respiration, as a by-product of metabolism, but some is stored in animal tissue and is passed on to carnivores feeding on the herbivores. Ultimately, all the carbon compounds are broken down by decomposition, and the carbon is released as CO2 to be used again by plants.\nOn a global scale the carbon cycle involves an exchange of CO2 between two great reservoirs: the atmosphere and the Earth's waters. Atmospheric CO2 enters water by diffusion across the air-water surface. If the CO2 concentration in the water is less than that in the atmosphe
