What Is Nitrification? In this process, the ammonia is converted into nitrate by the presence of bacteria in the soil. Nitrites are formed by the oxidation of Ammonia with the help of Nitrosomonas bacterium species. Later, the produced nitrites are converted into nitrates by Nitrobacter. This conversion is very important as ammonia gas is toxic for plants. … Read more
What Is An Element? An element is a pure substance that cannot be decomposed into simpler substances by ordinary chemical processes. Although elements cannot be changed by chemical reactions, new elements may be formed by nuclear reactions. Elements are defined by the number of protons they posses. Atoms of an element all have the same … Read more

What Is Plasticizer? Any substance added to a polymer material that can increase the plasticity of a polymer is referred to as a plasticizer. Plasticizers make plastics elastic, extensible, flexible and plastic at low temperatures. Plasticizers are produced by reaction of an alcohol with an acid such as adipic acid, phthalic anhydride and so forth. … Read more
Encoder In Digital Logic An Encoder is a combinational circuit that performs the reverse operation of Decoder. It has maximum of 2n input lines and ‘n’ output lines, hence it encodes the information from 2n inputs into an n-bit code. It will produce a binary code equivalent to the input, which is active high. Therefore, … Read more
