<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.

Fritz Haber, a German chemist, discovered a way to synthesize ammonia gas (NH3) by combining hydrogen and nitrogen gases accordi
Westkost [7]
1) Write the balanced equation to state the molar ratios:

<span>3H2(g) + N2(g) → 2NH3(g)

=> molar ratios = 3 mol H2 : 1 mol N2 : 2 mol NH3

What volume of nitrogen is needed to produce 250.0 L of ammonia gas at STP?

First, convert the 250.0 L of NH3 to number of moles at STP .

Use the fact that 1 mole of gas at STP occupies 22.4 L

=> 250.0 L * 1mol/22.4 L = 11.16 L

Second, use the molar ratio to find the number of moles of N2 that produces 11.16 L of NH3

=> 11.16 L NH3 * [1 mol N2 / 2 mol NH3] = 5.58 mol N2

Third, convert 5.58 mol N2 into liters at STP

=> 5.58 mol N2 * [22.4 L/mol] = 124.99 liters

Answer: 124,99 liters

What volume of hydrogen is needed to produce 2.50 mol NH3 at STP?
 

First, find the number of moles of H2 that produce 2.50 mol by using the molar ratios:

2.50 mol NH3 * [3mol H2 / 2 mol NH3] = 3.75 mol H2

Second, convert the number of moles to liters of gas at STP:

3.75 mol * 22.4 L/mol =  84 liters of H2

Answer: 84 liters
