What is the purpose of adding 0. 1% agar to the trypticase nitrate broth when conducting the nitrate reduction test?.

Chemistry

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).

Describe a chemical formula give an example
Vlad1618 [11]

A chemical formula identifies each constituent element by its chemical symbol and indicates the proportionate number of atoms of each element.

<em>For example, the empirical formula of ethanol may be written C2H6O because the molecules of ethanol all contain two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom.</em>

chegg write a net ionic equation describing the oxidation of no2 2 to no3 2 by o2 in a basic solution.
Marina86 [1]

When the same species undergoes both oxidation and reduction in a single redox reaction, this is referred to as a disproportionation. Therefore, divide it into two equal reactions.

NO2→NO^−3

NO2→NO

and do the usual changes

First, balance the two half reactions:

3. NO2 +H2O →NO^−3 + 2 H^+ + e−

4. NO2 +2 H^+ + 2e− → NO + H2O

Now multiply one or both half-reactions to ensure that each has the same number of electrons. Here, Eqn (3) x 2 results in each half-reaction having two electrons:

5. 2 NO2 + 2 H2O → 2 NO^−3 + 4H^+ + 2e−

Now add Eqn 4 and 5 (the electrons now cancel each other):

3NO2 + 2H^+ + 2H2O → NO + 2 NO−3 + H2O + 4H+

and cancel terms that’s common to both sides:

3NO2 + H2O → NO + 2NO^−3 + 2H+

This is the net ionic equation describing the oxidation of NO2 to NO3 in basic solution.
