What is the function of a mordant in gram staining?

Chemistry

<span>The function that a mordant has is to form a complex with the primary stain so that it becomes trapped with the bacteria that have structural properties. In Gram stain, the gram of iodine is used to form a complex with crystal violet, which becomes trapped in gram-positive cells. For this reason, its color is purple.</span>

The  function  of  mordant  in  the   gram  staining  is  to   expose  grams  positive  cell  to  the  decolorizer  which  dissolves  the  lipids  in  the  cell  wall   thus  allowing  the  crystals  violent-iodine  to  leach  out  of  the  cell. This  facilitate  the  cell  subsequently   be  stained  by  with  safranin.

What makes inertia important in that activity?
9966 [12]
All objects resist changes in their state of motion. All objects have this tendency - they have inertia. ... The more inertia that an object has, the more mass that it has. A more massive object has a greater tendency to resist changes in its state of motion.

What are the difficulties encountered in precipitation titration
Mumz [18]

One difficulty encountered in precipitation titration is that it is hard to determine the exact end point of its reaction.

Precipitation titration is a titration in which a  reaction  occurs from the  analyte and titrant  to form an insoluble precipitate.

With the use of silver for the titrations, (argentometric) we are able to develop many precipitation reactions.  

The  precipitation titrimetry  methods with the use of argentometry includes  

• Mohr’s Method

• Fajan’s Method

• Volhard’s Method

Difficulties encountered in precipitation titration includes

  • Getting the exact end point is hard.

  • it is a very slow titration method.

  • it includes periods of filtration and cooling thereby reducing the reactions available for this type of titration.
