Ammonia, Which Is Highly Toxic to Fish Because It Interferes $\mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}(a q)$

question 29

Essay

Ammonia, which is highly toxic to fish because it interferes with their uptake of oxygen, is formed from wastes excreted by the fish, uneaten food, and decaying plants.Beneficial bacteria oxidize the ammonia to nitrate, which is not highly toxic to fish in low to moderate levels.Complete and balance the reaction in basic solution.
$\mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}(a q)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}(a q)$
