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).

Reaction of (r)-2-chloro-4-methylhexane with excess nai in acetone gives racemic 2-iodo-4-methylhexane. what is the explanation
saveliy_v [14]

I believe this question has the following five choices to choose from:

 

>an SN2 reaction has occurred with inversion of configuration

>racemization followed by an S N 2 attack

>an SN1 reaction has taken over resulting in inversion of configuration

>an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation

>an SN1 reaction followed by an S N 2 “backside” attack

 

 

The correct answer is:

an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation

How many molecules are in 7.62 L of CH4, at 87.5°C and 722 torr
pickupchik [31]

Answer: There are 1.469 \times 10^{23} molecules present in 7.62 L of CH_4 at 87.5^{o}C and 722 torr.

Explanation:

Given : Volume = 7.62 L

Temperature = 87.5^{o}C = (87.5 + 273) K = 360.5 K

Pressure = 722 torr

1 torr = 0.00131579

Converting torr into atm as follows.

722 torr = 722 torr \times \frac{0.00131579 atm}{1 torr}\\= 0.95 atm

Therefore, using the ideal gas equation the number of moles are calculated as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

PV = nRT\\0.95 atm \times 7.62 L = n \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 360.5 K\\n = \frac{0.95 atm \times 7.62 L}{0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 360.5 K}\\= \frac{7.239}{29.59705}\\= 0.244 mol

According to the mole concept, 1 mole of every substance contains 6.022 \times 10^{23} atoms. Hence, number of atoms or molecules present in 0.244 mol are calculated as follows.

0.244 mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\= 1.469 \times 10^{23}

Thus, we can conclude that there are 1.469 \times 10^{23} molecules present in 7.62 L of CH_4 at 87.5^{o}C and 722 torr.
