Farmers use ammonium sulfate as a fertilizer. In the soil, nitrifying bacteria oxidize
Chapter 22, Problem 22.71(choose chapter or problem)
Farmers use ammonium sulfate as a fertilizer. In the soil, nitrifying bacteria oxidize NH4 1 to NO3 2, a groundwater contaminant that causes methemoglobinemia (blue baby syndrome). The World Health Organization standard for maximum [NO3 2] in groundwater is 45 mg/L. A farmer adds 210. kg of (NH4)2SO4 to a field and 37% is oxidized to NO3 2. What is the groundwater [NO3 2] (in mg/L) if 1000. m3 of the water is contaminated?
