Q51

Redox potential for nitrification should be

A.
> + 250 mV
Answer
B.
> - 250 mV
C.
< + 250 mV
D.
< - 250 mV

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Redox potential is a measure of the ease with which a molecule will accept electrons, which means that the more positive the redox potential, the more readily a molecule is reduced.
The redox potential is stimulated by the variation of a specific biological nitrification or denitrification process. The value of redox potential for nitrification should be > + 250 mV.
