End products of biochemical reactions are often acids or alkalies how are these products typically detected in a culture medium?

The pH indicator in the culture medium changes color based on the acidity or alkalinity of the medium due to the production of acids or bases by the microbial growth. The change in color of the indicator can be visually observed or measured using a pH meter to detect the presence of acids or alkalies.


What do we give to substances that are not acids or alkalies?

Substances that are not acidic or alkaline are neutral in their pH. Lots of substances exhibit a slight variance from a pH of 7, which is neutral. We don't notice many of them because they aren't far from neutral.

Why all alkalies are bases but not all bases are alkalies?

Bases have a pH above 7. These are of two types. The one which is soluble is called ALKALIES. The one which are insoluble are called INSOLUBLE BASE. Not all bases are soluble but only some of them are soluble. Eg: Ammonia, Aq. NaOH, etc are alkalies; they are soluble. RS :D


Why can't a pH scale go higher than 0?

the pH does go higher than 0. It goes 1-14 and 7 is neutral, 1-6 is acidic substances and something with the pH of 1 is highly acidic. on the opposing side of the spectrum 8-14 are alkalies and a substance with a pH of 14 is highly alkaline. You can use an universal indicator of pH strips to find out where on the pH scale something lands.

How can you solve problems with soil linked with acidity and alkalies?

To address soil acidity, you can add lime to raise the pH level. For alkaline soil, you can amend it with elemental sulfur to lower the pH. It's important to test the soil first to determine the existing pH level before application.


Is sodium hydroxide an alkali or alkaline?
