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.

Which statement accurately describes the illustration?
jasenka [17]
I'm not sure but I think it is A. image one has the most spread out particles like a gas, and b has closer together particles like a liquid or solid. since there are no choices that say A=gass and B=solid, so I am guessing it is answer A.

Which physical change is endothermic?
Helen [10]

Answer: The correct option is 1.

Explanation: Endothermic reactions are the reactions in which heat is provided to break down the reactant molecules.

In option 1:

The stronger intermolecular forces between the particles in solid molecule are broken down to convert into gaseous form. Hence, some energy in the form of heat is provided to move them far apart. Therefore, it is considered as an endothermic reaction.

In option 2, 3 and 4:

All the other processes involves the formation of bonds and thus there is no need to provide any energy.

An endergonic reaction with a Δh and Δs can be changed into an exergonic reaction.
zheka24 [161]

Full question:

This question is incomplete, here it is completed:

An endergonic reaction with a ______ ∆H and a ______ ∆S can be changed into an exergonic reaction by decreasing the temperature.

Option A: negative, positive

Option B: negative, negative

Option C: positive, positive

Option D: positive, negative

Answer:

Option B: negative, negative

Explanation:

The change in free energy (ΔG) of a system for a constant-temperature process is

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

free energy is the energy available to do work. Thus, if a particular reaction is accompanied by a release of usable energy (that is, <u>ΔG is negative</u><u>), it is said to be</u><u> exergonic</u>. On the other hand, if a reaction consumes energy (that is, <u>ΔG is positive</u><u>), it is said to be </u><u>endergonic</u>.

Looking at the equation, we can see that if ΔH is negative and ΔS is negative, then ΔG will be negative only when TΔS  is smaller in magnitude than ΔH. This condition is met when T is small.

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

           -        -

This means that the reaction proceeds spontaneously at low temperatures. At high temperatures, the reverse reaction becomes spontaneous. An example of that would be the following reaction:

NH₃(g) + HCl(g) → NH₄Cl(s)
