Question:
In the above reaction, a and b are
$2NH_{3} + 3O_{2}$ → a + $2NO_{2} + O_{2}$ → b → $2NO_{3}$
In the above reaction, a and b are
$2NH_{3} + 3O_{2}$ → a + $2NO_{2} + O_{2}$ → b → $2NO_{3}$
$2NH_{3} + 3O_{2}$ → a + $2NO_{2} + O_{2}$ → b → $2NO_{3}$
Show Hint
Nitrosomonas = $NH_{3}$ to $NO{2}$, Nitrobacter = $NO_{2}$ to $NO_{3}$.

Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In the nitrification process, Nitrosomonas converts ammonia $(NH_{3})$ to nitrite $(NO_{2})$, and Nitrobacter then converts nitrite to nitrate $(NO_{3})$. This is a sequential oxidation process essential in the nitrogen cycle.
