Solving environmental chemistry problem

Reference no: EM13111771

Assume that algae need carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in the atomic ratio 106:16:1. What is the limiting nutrient in the lake that contains the following concentrations: total carbon = 20 mg/L, total N = 0.80 mg/L and total P = 0.16 mg/L? If it is known that half
the phosphorus in the lake originates from the use of phosphate detergents, will banning phosphate builders slow down eutrophication?

Calculate the percentage of the bacterial genome : Sequencing of a new bacterial genome revealed a circular genome of 2.9 x 106 base pairs. Open reading frame (ORF) analysis indicated the presence of 2,120 ORFs that encode proteins with a median length of 270 amino acids (aa) and an average length..
