How are acid and alkaline products typically detected in a culture medium?

Acid and alkaline products in a culture medium can be detected using pH indicators that change color based on the acidity or alkalinity of the medium. pH strips or pH meters are commonly used to measure the pH levels of the medium and determine the presence of acid or alkaline products. Additionally, microbial growth patterns and metabolic byproducts can also indicate the presence of acid or alkaline substances in the culture medium.

Why pepsin required an acidic medium to break down protein?

because Pepsin is only active in an acid medium and is destroyed in an alkaline and neutral medium at room temperature and below


What is the equivalent weight of potassium permanganate in alkaline medium?

The equivalent weight of potassium permanganate in alkaline medium is 31.6 g/mol. This value takes into account the reduction of permanganate ions to manganese dioxide in alkaline conditions, resulting in a different equivalent weight compared to acidic conditions.

Why alkaline medium inhibit rusting of iron?

An alkaline medium inhibits rusting of iron by creating a protective oxide layer on the surface of the iron. This layer acts as a barrier, preventing oxygen and moisture from reaching the iron and causing oxidation. The alkaline environment also slows down the corrosion process by reducing the availability of electrons for the oxidation reaction to occur.


Why is so2 a powerful reducing agent in alkaline medium than in acidic medim?

SO2 acts as a reducing agent because of the liberation of nescent hydrogen in the presence of moisture;SO2 + 2H2O ---------- H2SO4 +2HAlkali neutralises the acid (H2SO4) and shifts the equilibrium in the forward direction producing more nascent hydrogen.however,in acidic medium,the equilibrium is suppressed resulting in a lesser amount of nascant hydrogen.consequently,SO2 is better reducing agent in alkaline medium than in the acidic medium.....if you are satisfy with my answer than...wel done me...hahahah....otherwise abuse me...i will be satisfy with your abusingPosted by Sachin Bagga(student), 1 minute ago


Why is tertiary alcohol more easily oxidized in acid medium than in neutral or alkaline medium?

In acidic medium, the hydroxyl group of the tertiary alcohol can be protonated, making it easier to lose a proton and form a carbocation intermediate, which is more stable due to hyperconjugation. This facilitates the oxidation process compared to in neutral or alkaline medium where the hydroxyl group is not protonated and the carbocation intermediate is less stable.

How does medium becomes alkaline in deoudenum?

The duodenum becomes alkaline due to the release of bicarbonate ions from the pancreas in response to the acidic chyme entering from the stomach. This neutralizes the acidity of the chyme, creating a more favorable pH environment for the enzymes to function in the small intestine.
