Answer:

=14.8 grams

Explanation:

The remaining amount is normally calculated using the formula:

Remaining mass= 1/2ⁿ × Original mass where n is the number of half-lives.

Therefore, original mass= Remaining mass × 2ⁿ

Remaining mass= 2.2 grams

Number of half lives= 2.75 half lives

Original mass= 2.2g × 2²·⁷⁵

=14.8 grams

The balanced equation for water is 2 H2 + O2 to 2 H2O. If I have 21.2g of a product , and I started with 5.6 g of H2, how many g
ANTONII [103]

Since 21.2 g H2O was produced, the amount of oxygen that reacted can be obtained using stoichiometry. The balanced equation was given:  2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O and the molar masses of the relevant species are also listed below. Thus, the following equation is used to determine the amount of oxygen consumed.

Molar mass of H2O = 18 g/mol

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

21.2 g H20 x 1 mol H2O/ 18 g H2O x 1 mol O2/ 2 mol H2O x 32 g O2/ 1 mol O2 = 18.8444 g O2

<span>We then determine that 18.84 g of O2 reacted to form 21.2 g H2O based on stoichiometry. It is important to note that we do not need to consider the amount of H2 since we can derive the amount of O2 from the product. Additionally, the amount of H2 is in excess in the reaction.</span>

What is the purpose of adding 0. 1% agar to the trypticase nitrate broth when conducting the nitrate reduction test?.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

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).
