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
What are elements in protein?
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur.
Is the nitrogen carbon sulphur cycle is a bio cycle?
no
Is potassium hydroxide inorganic?
Yes, potassium hydroxide is an inorganic compound. Inorganic compounds are typically made up of elements other than carbon, and potassium hydroxide consists of the elements potassium, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Reactions with aluminum and word equations?
Aluminium react with oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, halogens, sodium and potassium hydroxide, some acids, etc.
What happens when potassium hydroxide is kept near a potted plant?
Potassium hydroxide absorbs carbon dioxide given out by plant
What gas is removed from the air by potassium hydroxide?
Carbon dioxide.
What is the state of potassium hydroxide?
Potassium hydroxide is a strong alkali and is highly soluble in water. It reacts with acids to form potassium salts. It is often used in experiments to absorb carbon dioxide present in the system.
What effect would the presence of potassium hydroxide have on starch production?
Potassium hydroxide removes carbon. It also helps to break down starch. Therefore, potassium hydroxide would mean less starch production.
How can potassium hydroxide absorb carbon monoxide?
KOH (melted) + CO = HCOOK (potassium formate)
What gases make acid rain?
ammonium, carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur
