3. As the concentration of oxygen drops in the sediments, nitrate (NO3-) reduction becomes the more favorable pathway for organic carbon oxidation, using nitrate as the electron acceptor instead of oxygen. At a temperature of 25°C and pH of 8, predict what level of Oz would result in NO; reduction becoming more energetically favorable if [NO3 ] is 100 UM, NH, is 0.1 UM, [CH20] is 0.01M, and pCO2 is 4.2x104 atm. (Hint: compare AG values for each process)
