The urease test uses phenol red which is a pH indicator. A pink tube is a positive result. This is due to the fact that... a) The carbon dioxide released produces acid making the pH of the tube higher b) The ammonia released makes pH of the tube lower c) The ammonia released makes the pH of the tube higher d) The carbon dioxide released produces acid making the pH of the tube lower

phenol red is the indicator in the urease test and in fermentation tubes fermentation tubes: what color of inoculated medium or negative results? results: color? pH? urease test: what color of inoculated medium or negative results? results: color? pH?

The indicator phenol red changes from yellow to red between pH 6.8 and pH 8.4. If phenol is red added to a solution, and the solution turns red then A.) The solution is basic and the pH must be at or below 7.0. B.) The pH of the solution must be below 6.8, and the solution is basic. C.) The pH of the solution must be below 6.8, and the solution is acidic. D.) The pH of the solution must be above 8.4, and the solution is basic E.) The pH of the solution is above 8.4, and the solution is acidic.

a. Methyl orange (whose structure is given in Section 8.12 ) is an acid-base indicator. In solutions of $\mathrm{pH}<4$, it is red, and in solutions of $\mathrm{pH}>4,$ it is yellow. Account for the change in color. b. Phenolphthalein is also an indicator, but it exhibits a much more dramatic color change. In solutions of $\mathrm{pH}<8.5,$ it is colorless, and in solutions of $\mathrm{pH}>8.5,$ it is deep red-purple. Account for the change in color.
