Answer:

When organisms use urea, ammonia is generated during incubation, which makes the reaction of these media alkaline

Explanation:

Urea broth preparation:

Suspend 3.87 grams of the medium in 100 ml of distilled water without heating. When the powder dissolves, sterilize by filtration. Dispense quantities of 0.5 to 2 ml in small sterile tubes. Larger volumes may be used but the reactions will be slower. Do not sterilize in autoclave.

Do not boil the medium.

If no filter is available, the medium can be sterilized at 100-110 ° C for 10 minutes. If the medium is prepared and inoculated immediately, it provides good results without sterilization.

Rank the following elements by increasing atomic radius carbon aluminum oxygen potassium
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The elements in increasing order of atomic radius: oxygen, carbon, aluminum, potassium

Explanation:

The distance from the center of the nucleus to the outermost shell of the electron is known as the atomic radius of an element. The atomic radius decreases rightward along each period (row) of the table due to the increase in effective nuclear charge (the charge of the nucleus equal to the number of protons). Across a period, electrons are added to the same energy level and the increasing number of protons causes the nucleus to exert more pull on these electrons, which makes the atomic radius smaller.  Atomic radius increases down each group (column) of the periodic table because of the addition of electrons to higher energy levels, which are further away from the nucleus and the pull of nucleus weakens. Another reason for the increase in atomic radius is the electron shielding effect, which is the reduction of the attractive force between a nucleus and its outer electrons due to the blocking effect of inner electrons

While moving from left to right in the second period, c arbon comes before  oxygen  and so oxygen will have a smaller atomic radius than  carbon. While moving down the periodic table, al uminum comes before  potassium even if they are not in the same period. So aluminum 's atomic radius will be smaller than that of  potassium  but bigger than that of  carbon  and  oxygen.

What form of anesthetic was used for field surgery
cestrela7 [59]

Answer: Anesthesia

Explanation:

Anesthesia was used in 95% of Civil War surgeries. Sulfuric ether had been discovered in Europe in the 1830's and was first used as an anesthetic by William Morton in 1846. After a successful public demonstration it became widely used in surgery.
