Wetlands can play a significant role in removing fertilizer residues from rain runoff and groundwater; one way they do this is through denitrification, which converts nitrate ions to nitrogen gas: $2NO − 3(aq)+5CO(g)+2H+(aq) N₂(g)+H2O(l)+5CO₂(g) Suppose 375.00 g of NO₃⁻ flows into a swamp each day. What volume of N₂ would be produced each day at 17°C and 1.00 atm if the denitrification process were complete? What volume of CO₂ would be produced each day? Suppose the gas mixture produced by the decomposition reaction is trapped in a container at 17°C; what is the density of the mixture assuming Ptotal = 1.00 atm?
