Agar is used to assist establish an anaerobic environment that promotes nitrate reduction.

Nitrate Reduction test:

  • The nitrate in the broth is converted to nitrite by organisms that can produce the nitrate reductase enzyme, which can then be further converted to nitric oxide, nitrous oxide, or nitrogen.
  • Anaerobic respiration and denitrification are two processes that can convert nitrate to a variety of compounds.
  • While denitrification only reduces nitrate to molecular nitrogen, anaerobic respiration employs nitrate as the bacterium's final electron acceptor, reducing it to a range of chemicals.
  • The nitrate reduction test is based on the detection of nitrite and its capacity to produce a red precipitate (prontosil), which is a water-soluble azo dye, when it combines with sulfanilic acid to create a complex (nitrite-sulfanilic acid).

baherus [9]

Answer:

camphor sublimates salt is soluble in water while sand does not sublime and does not dissolve in water you first heat the mixture in a beaker covered with a watch glass camphor will then accumulate on the watch glass then you dissolve the remaining mixture of sand and salt salt will dissolve forming a salt solution then you filter using a filter paper and a beaker the residue on the filter paper is sand while the filtrate is salt solution you then heat the salt solution so that it can evaporate leaving salt particles thus you will have obtained salt sand and camphor

A sample of carbon dioxide is contained in a 250.0 mL flask at 0.930 atm and 15.4 °C. How many molecules of gas are in
Yanka [14]

Answer:

We are given:

Volume (V) = 0.25 L

Pressure (P) = 0.93 atm

Temperature (T) = 15.4°C  OR   288.4 K

<u>Solving for the number of moles of CO₂:</u>

From the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

replacing the variables

0.93 * 0.25 = n (0.082)(288.4)

n = 0.00983 moles

<u>Number of molecules:</u>

Number of moles=  0.00983

number of molecules in 1 mole = 6.022 * 10²³

Number of molecules in 0.00983 moles = 0.00983 * 6.022 * 10²³

Number of molecules = 5.91 * 10²¹

Rank the following solutions in order of increasing acidity (least acidic to most acidic): I: [H3O+] = 1x10−5 II: [OH−] = 1x10−1
kozerog [31]

Answer: option C) II < III < I

i.e [OH−] < [H3O+] < I

Explanation:

First, obtain the pH value of I and II, then compare both with III.

For I

Recall that pH = -log (H+)

So pH3O = -log (H3O+)

= - log (1x10−5)

= 4

For II

pOH = - log(OH-)

= - log(1x10−10)

= 9

For III

pH = 6

Since, pH range from 1 to 14, with values below 7 to be acidic, 7 to be neutral, above 7 to be alkaline: then, 9 < 6 < 4

Thus, the following solutions from least acidic to most acidic is II < III < I
