The conversion of Nitrogen to ammonia or nitrogenous compounds is called
Correct answer: B. Nitrogen Fixation
- A. Nitrification
- B. Nitrogen Fixation
- C. Denitrification
- D. Assimilation
Explanation
Nitrogen fixation is when molecular nitrogen is converted into ammonia or other nitrogenous compounds. It is part of the nitrogen cycle and is carried out naturally by certain bacteria in soil to provide plants with vital nutrients.It can also be carried out artificially in industries. Nitrification is a microbial process by which ammonia is oxidised to nitrite or nitrate. Denitrification is the microbial process of reducing nitrates and nitrite into gaseous forms of nitrogen. Nitrogen assimilation is the formation of organic nitrogen compounds like amino acids from inorganic nitrogen compounds present in the environment. Organisms like plants, fungi and certain bacteria that can fix nitrogen gas (N2) depend on the ability to assimilate nitrate or ammonia for their needs.

The more specific you are, the faster it gets fixed. A source beats an opinion.

About Chemical Equilibrium
Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.
