  2. Microbial oxidation of sulfur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_oxidation_of_sulfur

    Reactions of oxidation of sulfide to sulfate and elemental sulfur (incorrectly balanced). The electrons (e −) liberated from these oxidation reactions, which release chemical energy, are then used to fix carbon into organic molecules. The elements that become oxidized are shown in pink, those that become reduced in blue, and the electrons in ...

  3. Sulfur metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_metabolism

    In bacteria, sulfate and thiosulfate are transported into the cell by sulfate permeases where it can then be reduced and incorporated into biomolecules. [14] In some organisms (e.g., gut flora , cyanobacteria , and yeast ), [ 15 ] assimilatory sulfate reduction is a more complex process that makes use of the enzymes ATP sulfurylase, APS kinase ...

    Acidified silver nitrate solution tests for halide ions; The Beilstein test tests for halides qualitatively; The bead test tests for certain metals; The Carius halogen method measures halides quantitatively. [1] Chemical tests for cyanide test for the presence of cyanide, CN −; Copper sulfate tests for the presence of water; Flame tests test ...

  5. Sulfate-reducing microorganism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfate-reducing_microorganism

    Desulfovibrio vulgaris is the best-studied sulfate-reducing microorganism species; the bar in the upper right is 0.5 micrometre long.. Sulfate-reducing microorganisms (SRM) or sulfate-reducing prokaryotes (SRP) are a group composed of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and sulfate-reducing archaea (SRA), both of which can perform anaerobic respiration utilizing sulfate (SO 2−

  6. Benedict's reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedict's_reagent

    Benedict's reagent (often called Benedict's qualitative solution or Benedict's solution) is a chemical reagent and complex mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium citrate, and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. [1] It is often used in place of Fehling's solution to detect the presence of reducing sugars and other reducing substances. [2]

  7. Sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfate

    The barium derivative is useful in the gravimetric analysis of sulfate: if one adds a solution of most barium salts, for instance barium chloride, to a solution containing sulfate ions, barium sulfate will precipitate out of solution as a whitish powder. This is a common laboratory test to determine if sulfate anions are present.

  8. Gravimetric analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravimetric_analysis

    Gravimetric analysis describes a set of methods used in analytical chemistry for the quantitative determination of an analyte (the ion being analyzed) based on its mass. The principle of this type of analysis is that once an ion's mass has been determined as a unique compound, that known measurement can then be used to determine the same analyte's mass in a mixture, as long as the relative ...

  9. Fenton's reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenton's_reagent

    Fenton's reagent is a solution of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) and an iron catalyst (typically iron(II) sulfate, FeSO 4). [1] It is used to oxidize contaminants or waste water as part of an advanced oxidation process. Fenton's reagent can be used to destroy organic compounds such as trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene).
