How does the presence of hydroxylamine affect the calculation of nitrogen gas selectivity?

Label:chem

Topic
The study found that hydroxylamine is an intermediate in the reduction of nitrate and nitrite, and its presence was not accounted for in previous studies. This oversight could lead to incorrect calculations of nitrogen gas selectivity based on the concentrations of nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium alone.
Answer
The presence of hydroxylamine affects the calculation of nitrogen gas selectivity because it challenges the assumption that only nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium are relevant products. Ignoring hydroxylamine leads to erroneous mass balance and nitrogen gas selectivity calculations. The study emphasizes the need to account for hydroxylamine in future studies and applications.
