What is the purpose of the uninoculated control tubes used in the oxidation fermentation test?

Black_prince [1.1K]

The purpose of the uninoculated control tubes used in this test is that two uninoculated control tubes are needed to show the results of the medium in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. It is used to show it is sterile and also as a color comparison, used also to show that the medium remains green under both conditions.

PLEASE HELP IM SO CONFUSED How does potassium need to be modified either on site or in a factory to make it useful. This should

3241004551 [841]

Potassium is not found free in nature but is found in the form of potash. Potash is the ore of potassium and this ore is mined from deep down the earth or can sometimes be found on the surface. Potash was mostly formed as sea water receded and left deposits.

Potash is usually in the form of potassium salts such potassium chloride and potassium sulphate. The potash is mined then taken to the factory where it is crushed and purified by removing such impurities as clay.

The now purified potassium salts are subjected to a process called electrolysis where potassium metal is obtained from its salt.

Help me nowww please and thanks

The answer to your question is Gallium, or GA. The trick is to always check if they are along the same vertical column. This indicates that they have the same Valence electrons, which is involved in all the bonding and define the electronegative status of the atom.

50.0 mL solution of 0.160 M potassium alaninate ( H 2 NC 2 H 5 CO 2 K ) is titrated with 0.160 M HCl . The p K a values for the

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

a) 6.12

b) 1.87

Explanation:

At the onset of the equivalence point (i.e the first equivalence point); alaninate is being converted to alanine.

$H_2NC_2H_5CO^-_2$ $+$ $H^+$ ------> $H_3}^+NC_2H_5CO^-_2$

1 mole of alaninate react with 1 mole of acid to give 1 mole of alanine;

therefore 50.0 mL of 0.160 M alaninate required 50.0 mL of 0.160M HCl to reach the first equivalence point.

The concentration of alanine can be gotten via the following process as shown below;

$[H_3}^+NC_2H_5CO^-_2]$ = $\frac{initial moles of alaninate}{total volume}$

$[H_3}^+NC_2H_5CO^-_2]$ = $\frac{(50.0mL)*(0.160M)}{(50.0mL+50.0mL)}$

$[H_3}^+NC_2H_5CO^-_2]$ = $\frac{8}{100mL}$

$[H_3}^+NC_2H_5CO^-_2]$ = 0.08 M

Alanine serves as an intermediary form, however the concentration of $H^+$ and the pH can be determined as follows;

$[H^+]$ = $\sqrt{\frac{K_{a1}K_{a2}{[H_3}^+NC_2H_5CO^-_2]+K_{a1}K_w}{ K_{a1}{[H_3}^+NC_2H_5CO^-_2] } }$

$[H^+]$ = $\sqrt{\frac{ (10^{-pK_{a1})}(10^{-pK_{a2})}(0.08)+(10^{-pK_{a1})}(1.0*10^{-14})} {(10^{-pK_{a1}})+(0.08)} }$

$[H^+]$ = $\sqrt{\frac{ (10^{-2.344})(10^{-9.868})(0.08)+(10^{-2.344})(1.0*10^{-14})} {(10^{-2.344})+(0.08)} }$

$[H^+]$ = $7.63*10^{-7}M$

pH = - log $[H^+]$

pH = $-log[7.63*10^{-7}]$

pH= 6.12

Therefore, the pH of the first equivalent point = 6.12

b) At the second equivalence point; all alaninate is converted into protonated alanine.

$H_2NC_2H_5CO^-_2$ $+$ $H^+$ -----> $H^+_3NC_2H_5CO^-_2$

$H^+_3NC_2H_5CO^-_2$ $+$ $H^+$ -----> $H^+_3NC_2H_5CO_2H$

Here; we have a situation where 1 mole of alaninate react with 2 moles of acid to give 1 mole of protonated alanine;

Moreover, 50.0 mL of 0.160 M alaninate is needed to produce 100.0mL of 0.160 M HCl in order to achieve the second equivalence point.

Thus, the concentration of protonated alanine can be determined as:

$[H^+_3NC_2H_5CO_2H]$ = $\frac{initial moles of alaninate}{total volume}$

$[H^+_3NC_2H_5CO_2H]$ = $\frac{(50.0mL)*(0.160M)}{(50.0mL+100.0mL)}$

$[H^+_3NC_2H_5CO_2H]$ = $\frac{8}{150}$

$[H^+_3NC_2H_5CO_2H]$ = 0.053 M

The pH at the second equivalence point can be calculated via the dissociation of protonated alanine at equilibrium which is represented as:

$H^+_3NC_2H_5CO_2H$ ⇄ $H^+_3NC_2H_5CO^-_2$ $+$ $H^+$

(0.053 - x) x x

$K_{a1}$ = $\frac{[H^+] [H^+_3NC_2H_5CO^-_2]}{[H^+_3NC_2H_5CO_2H]}$

$10^{-PK_{a1}}$ = $\frac{x*x}{(0.053-x)}$

$10^{-2.344} =\frac{x^2}{(0.053-x)}$

$0.00453 = \frac{x^2}{(0.053-x)}$

$0.00453(0.053-x) =x^2$

$x^2+0.00453x-(2.4009*10^{-4})$

Using quadratic equation formula;

$\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

we have:

$\frac{-0.00453+\sqrt{(0.00453)^2-4(1)(-2.4009*10^{-4})} }{2(1)}$ OR $\frac{-0.00453-\sqrt{(0.00453)^2-4(1)(-2.4009*10^{-4})} }{2(1)}$

= 0.0134 OR -0.0179

So; we go by the positive integer which says

x = 0.0134

So $[H^+]=[H_3^+NC_2H_5CO^-_2]= 0.0134 M$

pH = $-log[H^+]$

pH = $-log[0.0134]$

pH = 1.87

Thus, the pH of the second equivalent point = 1.87
