>The nitric oxide so formed then reacts with more oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide. Nitrogen dioxide so formed, gets washed down by rain and forms nitrates and nitrites in the soil. Plants absorb these of nitrates and nitrites from the soil and convert them into pl..

Summary - Ammonia is produced by decay of plant and animal tissues. Nitrogenous organic matters like urea in the urine and excreta of animals get acted upon by bacteria releasing ammonia. Ammonia is manufactured by Haber's Process by the reaction of 1 volume of nitrogen..

Discovery of Ammonia - Joseph Priestley first prepared ammonia in 1775 by heating Sal ammoniac (ammonium chloride) with slaked lime. Due to its basic nature, he called it alkaline air. In 1785, Comte Claude-Louis Berthollet determined the chemical composition of ammoni..

Nitrogen Cycle - Nitrogen is an essential constituent of animal and plant matter as it forms proteins, which are the building blocks of life. The ultimate source of nitrogen is atmospheric nitrogen but neither plants nor animals are capabl..

Nitrogen is an important structural component of many necessary compounds, particularly proteins. Atmosphere is the reservoir of free gaseous nitrogen and nitrogen compounds are found in bodies of organisms and in the soil. Living organisms cannot p..
