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.
Yes they are stable because they follow octet rule but am not sure if they are exist separetly
Answer:
B and C
Explanation:
When we have to do a buffer solution we always have to choose the reaction that has the <u>pKa closer to the desired pH value</u>. When we find the pKa values we will obtain:
![pKa_1=-Log[6.9x10^-^3]=2.16](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pKa_1%3D-Log%5B6.9x10%5E-%5E3%5D%3D2.16)
![pKa_2=-Log[6.2x10^-^8]=7.20](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pKa_2%3D-Log%5B6.2x10%5E-%5E8%5D%3D7.20)
![pKa_3=-Log[4.8x10^-^13]=12.31](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pKa_3%3D-Log%5B4.8x10%5E-%5E13%5D%3D12.31)
The closer value is pKa2 with a value of 7.2. Therefore we have to use the second reaction. In which
is the <u>acid</u> and
is the <u>base</u>. Therefore the answer for the first question is B and the answer for the second question is C.
