Potassium Hydroxide can be used to absorb carbon dioxide from the air.
Because calcium carbonate is formed which is insoluble in water. It makes the water cloudy.
Strontium belongs to alkaline earth metalswhich form the stable carbonates so when carbon dioxide is added to aqueous solution of strontium hydroxide white ppts. of strontium carbonate are formed. Sr(OH)2+ CO2 = SrCO3 + H2O
Selenium dioxide, SeO2
+4 oxidation state
This isn't a question.........
Selenium dioxide: SeO2 Potassium selenate: K2SeO4 Selenium tetrabromide: SeBr4 Selenous acid: H2SeO3 Selenium disulphide: SeS2 Selenium hexafluoride: SeF6 Potassium selenocyanate: KSeCN
Potassium hydroxide will react with carbon dioxide to produce potassium carbonate.
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
Potassium hydroxide absorbs carbon dioxide given out by plant
Carbon dioxide.
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.
[2K+]tribunated + 2I-(aq) + Cu2+(aq) + [SO42-]tribunated --> --> CuI2(s) + [2K+ + SO42- ]tribunated
Potassium Hydroxide can be used to absorb carbon dioxide from the air.
bicarbonate
It absorbs carbon dioxide form from the respiration.
For example hydroxides as calcium, sodium or potassium hydroxide.
