The nitrate reduction test identifies whether the given strain of bacteria is able to reduce nitrate to nitrite using anaerobic respiration.

In this test, the solution is incubated after adding the bacteria strain. After the incubation period is over, additional solutions Sulfuric acid (a) and Naphthylamine (b) are added to it.

If the reduction has occurred and the nitrite is present, then the solution gives red color.

If there is no color change, then the solution is tested for the presence of other reduction products like N2 gas , NH3 gas etc. This is done by adding zinc to the solution.

Zinc is able to reduce nitrate to nitrite only. Therefore a color change after the addition of zinc indicates that the bacterial strain was not able to reduce nitrate and nitrates are still present which were reduced by zinc.

If there is no color change, that means the nitrates are absent and the bacteria has reduced nitrate to some other species like N2 or NH3 gas.

Therefore , In the nitrate reduction test, only after the addition of zinc to your 24-hour incubated solutions a and b is there a color change. This indicates that the bacteria was not able to reduce nitrate to nitrite.

Answer from: Quest

according to kinetic-molecular theory, the following would not be considered an ideal gas:

a gas at very low volumes, when gas particles are very close together

a gas at very low temperatures, when gas particles have very little kinetic energy a gas

a gas with highly polar molecules that have very strong intermolecular forces

Darla claims that the first periodic table developed by mendeleev was not completely accurate, so it is not useful at all. harmony argues that it establish the periodic table we use today, making it more credible. who is correct and why? darla is correct, because a model that has any mistakes should be thrown out. darla is correct, because a good model would not need to change. harmony is correct, because mendeleev’s model had all of the information correct in the first version. harmony is correct, because mendeleev’s model made predictions that came true.

Astudent made a graph plotting the progress of a reaction over time. the student forgot to label the y-axis of the graph. a graph is shown with two graph lines. one graph line starts at a higher position on the y axis and slopes downwards towards the right. the other graph line starts at a lower position on the y axis and slopes upwards towards the right. the two graph lines stop short of intersecting each other and continue as separate lines which gradually become straight and parallel to the x axis. a vertical line is shown at a point where the two graph lines finally became parallel to the x axis. this vertical line is labeled equilibrium. the title on the x axis is time and an arrow pointing towards the right is shown above time. the title on the y axis is left blank. what best explains the label that the student should use on the y-axis? amount, because as the amount of product decreases, the amount of reactant increases over time. reaction rate, because forward and backward reaction become equal at equilibrium. amount, because the amounts of reactants and products become constant after equilibrium is reached. reaction rate, as the rate of forward reaction increases and rate of backward reaction decreases over time.
