What is the decolorizing agent in the acid fast stain?
The decolorizing agent in the acid fast stain is acid alcohol. The decolorizing agent in the gram stain is ethanol.
Why is acid alcohol rather than ethyl alcohol used as a decolorizing agent in the acid fast staining experiment?
Alcohol is a term used for any O-H group that is attached to a carbon. Perhapes the alcohol is found in a Safranin stain. I hope I have this right but if alcohol was used as the decolorizing agent, it may wash out too much stain to get a good view in an oil emersion microscope.

Is maneval's stain an acid stain?

Is mordant used in acid fast stain?
Yes, a mordant is used in the acid-fast stain technique. The mordant used is heat to help drive the primary stain, usually carbol-fuchsin, into acid-fast bacteria, such as Mycobacterium species, which resist decolorization with acid-alcohol.
