Mannitol salt agar is defined as both a selective and a differential agar since it selects against non-halophiles and allows the

researcher to distinguish between organisms that vary in their ability to ferment mannitol. True or false?

Answer: The above statement is true

Explanation:

Mannitol salt agar is a medium which contain high concentration of salt,about 7.5%-10%. It is commonly used as a selective and differential growth medium.Because of its high concentration of salt,it inhibits growth if non halophiles(as they only grow best in media containing less tha 0.2M salts). If the bacteria can ferment mannitol,an acidic byproduct is formed which turns phenol red agar into yellow.So only those bacteria grow well which can ferment mannitol.

hat is the percentage of water in the following compound? Answer using three significant figures. Sodium carbonate decahydrate,
BigorU [14]
You need to find the whole molar mass of the compound using the periodic table to add the values. 

Na2CO3= (2 x 23.0) + 12.0 + (3 x 16.0)= 106 g/mol
H2O= 10 x [ (2 x 1.01 ) + (16.0) ]= 180.2 g/mol

the total molar mass is 106 + 180.2 = 286.2 g/mol

the percentage of water you can find by doing "parts over the whole"

H2O%= 180.2 / 286.2 X 100= 63.0%

Could someone explain what oxidation numbers are and what these questions are asking of me?
Oxana [17]

The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The oxidation number of an atom is the charge that atom would have if the compound was composed of ions. 1. The oxidation number of an atom is zero in a neutral substance that contains atoms of only one element. The oxidation number of simple ions is equal to the charge on the ion.

The oxidation number of a mono atomic ion equals the charge of the ion. The oxidation number of H is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electro negative elements. The oxidation number of O in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides. The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

What is ksp for agi, if its molar solubility is 9.1 × 10−9 mol/l?
LekaFEV [45]
When the salt AgI dissolves, it dissociates as follows;
AgI --> Ag⁺ + I⁻
molar solubility of salt is the amount of salt that can be dissolved in 1 L of solution
since the ions dissociated are in 1:1 molar ratio, the molar solubility of the ions are equivalent to the molar solubility of the salt.
ksp is the solubility product constant of the salt
ksp = [Ag⁺][I⁻]
ksp = (9.1 x 10⁻⁹ mol/L)²
ksp = 8.28 x 10⁻¹⁷
