Wetlands can play a significant role in removing fertilizer residues from rain runoff and groundwater; one way they do is through denitrification, which converts nitrate ions to nitrogen gas:
2NO3(aq)+5CO(g)+2H(aq)–>N2(g)+H2O(l)+5CO2(g)
a)Suppose 155 g of NO3- flows into a swamp each day. What volume of N2 would be produced each day at 17.0°C and 1.00 atm if the denitrification process were complete?
