Half-reaction for the reduction of liquid water to gaseous hydrogen in basic aqueous solution

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

2H₂O (liq) + 2e⁻⇒ H₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

Explanation:

In reduction-oxidation reaction two reactions take place, one is oxidation and the other is reduction reaction. In an oxidation reaction, there is the loss of an electron whereas in the reduction reaction there is gain of electron occus.

Reduction reaction occurs on the cathode, in a reduction of water there is gain of 2 electrons to gaseous hydrogen in basic aqueous solution. half-reaction for the reduction of liquid water to gaseous hydrogen in basic aqueous solution-

2H₂O (liq) + 2e⁻⇒ H₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

Describe how you could use two LB/agar plates, some E. coli, and some ampicillin to determine how E. coli cells are affected by
KiRa [710]

Answer:

For this experiment we are going to take plate 1 as the control plate, so, in it there will be just E. coli in LB/agar; in plate 2, we are going to put E. coli in LB/agar and some ampicillin.  Then, we have to wait for the E. coli colonies to form. After a while, the E. coli growth can be compared on both plates and determine if ampicillin affects or not the E. coli colonies.

Explanation:

If the ampicillin affects negatively E. coli colonies, we are going to observe that in plate 1 (control plate) there are E. coli colonies growing, but in plate 2, there is no E. coli colonies or, at least, there is a fewer number of colonies on it. If ampicillin doesn't affect E.coli, plate 1 (control) and plate 2 (ampicillin experiment) are going to be similar in number of colonies.
