What is the function of a mordant in gram staining?

Chemistry

dedylja [7]3 years ago

<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 volume of a 2.10 M NaCl solution is
cluponka [151]

Answer:

146.3g NaCl (mol NaCl/58.44g NaCl) = 2.50 mol NaCl

1.5M NaCl = 1.5 mol NaCl / 1 L = 2.5 mol NaCl / x L, solve for x

x L = 2.5 mol NaCl / 1.5 mol NaCl = 1.66 L

It gives the answer and all the working.

To put it another way:

Dividing the amount required by the molar mass

we quickly see that 2.5 moles are required.

One litre of 1.5 molar solution gives 1.5 moles

we need a further mole, which is 2/3 of 1.5 so 2/3 of a litre.

Calculate the amount in moles of 125 g of CaSO4.
Leto [7]

Answer:

Number of moles = 0.92 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CaSO₄ = 125 g

Number of moles of CaSO₄ = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of CaSO₄:

Molar mass of CaSO₄ = 40 + 32+ 16×4

Molar mass of CaSO₄ = 40 + 32+ 64

Molar mass of CaSO₄ = 136 g/mol

Number of moles:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 125 g/ 136 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.92 mol

Think about the animals in an arctic ecosystem. How would those animals adapt over time if global temperatures rise over the nex
brilliants [131]

Given the fact that we are seeing a rise in the temperature of the globe, the artic animals in that ecosystem must adapt by a reduction in the rate of metabolism.

<h3>What is global warming?</h3>

Several evidences continue to emerge that the temperature of the earth have continued to increase and this is largely due to the fact that since the turn of the twentieth century and the rise of industrialization, there have been a rise in the emission of the carbon dioxide and other green house gases into the environment. As a result of this, the temperature of the earth has continued to rise steadily leading to the melting of the ice cover and the destruction of ecosystems that are found around the artic regions of the earth.

Now, we know that an organism is able to adapt to the changes that occur in its habitat by being able to alter some of its structure and function.

Given that the organisms that live in the artic are adapted to cold regions and low temperatures, the metabolic rate of the organisms is high in order to produce heat.

As a result of the rise in global temperatures, the organisms would have to reduce their rate of metabolism.
