What is potassium hydroxide used for in an experiment to demonstrate that carbon dioxide is produced by green plants during respiration?

Potassium hydroxide will react with carbon dioxide to produce potassium carbonate.


Why can't potassium hydroxide be used to test for carbon dioxide?

it is because potassium hydroxide will react with carbon dioxide to form potassium carbonate and water. but potassium carbonate is soluble, so there will be no visible change to see if there is carbon dioxide emitted


Name some bases?

sodium hydroxide, quicklime or Calcium Oxide, Slaked lime or calcium hydroxide, Potassium Hydroxide or caustic potash or lye. Sodium Carbonate; potassium carbonate, rubidium oxide, ammonia etc.


What observations do you make when you react potassium hydroxide with sodium carbonate?

You get a double decomposition reaction, producing sodium hydroxide and potassium carbonate, but actually there is no real reaction; the four substances remain in perfect equilibrium in solution.


What products are formed when carbonic acid is neutralized with potassium hydroxide?

Potassium carbonate and, usually, water. (If the proportions are exactly right, the water may be water of hydration of the potassium carbonate instead of a separate substance.)

Is potassium carbonate a element or compound?

Potassium carbonate is a compound. It consists of the elements potassium, carbon, and oxygen. The balanced chemical formula is: 2KOH + CO2 → K2CO3 + H2O which is a result of the addition of carbon dioxide to potassium hydroxide. The potassium hydroxide in this equation comes from the electrolysis of potassium chloride. Potassium carbonate is a compound. It consists of the elements potassium, carbon, and oxygen.

Where does molten carbonate come from?

Sodium carbonate can be made by the Solvay process from brine (sodium chloride) and limestone (calcium carbonate). In the US there are large deposits of a mineral called Trona which is sodium bicarbonate carbonate, and it is obtained from that. Potassium carbonate is made by electrolysis of potassium chloride which is found as mineral Sylvite, which gives potassium hydroxide which is then carbonated with CO2. See wikipedia entries for Solvay Process, Trona, and Potassium Carbonate


What gas is produced when potassium hydroxide and calcium carbonate are mixed?
