The CO2 reacts with the H2O to create H2CO3 (Carbonic acid)
Carbon dioxide + Water ---> Carbonic acid ----->Bicarbonate ion---> Hydrogen ion
Bromothymol blue (BTB) can change color in the presence of carbon dioxide or acidic solutions, turning from blue to yellow. By observing the color change in a solution with BTB added, you can determine the presence of carbon dioxide or acidity levels, which can help identify certain gases like carbon dioxide in the solution.
To test for carbon dioxide, you can bubble the gas through limewater (calcium hydroxide solution). If carbon dioxide is present, it will cause the limewater to turn milky or cloudy due to the formation of calcium carbonate. Another method is using a pH indicator like bromothymol blue, which will change color in the presence of carbon dioxide.
the cold air can change the carbon dioxide gas to a solid
In the experiment of anaerobic respiration of yeast, the yeast ferments sugars and produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct. When carbon dioxide is bubbled through lime water (calcium hydroxide solution), it reacts to form calcium carbonate, which causes the lime water to turn cloudy. If a hydrogen carbonate indicator solution is used, the increase in carbon dioxide leads to a color change, typically becoming more acidic and resulting in a shift in color depending on the pH change. This indicates the production of carbon dioxide during yeast fermentation.

Excess carbon dioxide in solution reacts with water to form carbonic acid, lowering the pH of the solution. This reaction increases the concentration of hydrogen ions, making the solution more acidic.
Yes, carbon dioxide gas will change acidified potassium dichromate solution from orange to green due to the reduction of the dichromate ion to chromium (III) ions in the presence of reducing agents like carbon dioxide.
When carbon dioxide dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid, which can change the pH of the solution. Indicators are substances that change color depending on the pH of the solution, so when the pH changes due to the presence of carbonic acid, the indicator may change color accordingly. This is how carbon dioxide can affect the color of an indicator.
It wouldn't change at all as it is neutral
Bromothymol blue (BTB) can change color in the presence of carbon dioxide or acidic solutions, turning from blue to yellow. By observing the color change in a solution with BTB added, you can determine the presence of carbon dioxide or acidity levels, which can help identify certain gases like carbon dioxide in the solution.
Adding carbon dioxide to bromothymol blue (BTB) solution causes a color change because it forms carbonic acid, which lowers the pH of the solution. BTB changes color in response to pH changes, shifting from blue in a basic solution to yellow in an acidic solution. The increased acidity due to the carbon dioxide causes the solution to turn yellow.
Carbon dioxide makes conditions more acidic. If moisture is present carbonic acid will form.
The freshly prepared KOH solution is used in the experiment to absorb carbon dioxide present in the air inside the bell jar. By keeping the KOH solution in a watch-glass, any change in the color of the solution due to the absorption of carbon dioxide can be easily observed. This helps demonstrate that carbon dioxide is essential for photosynthesis by showing that the removal of carbon dioxide inhibits the process.
The blue BTB solution turning green in the presence of elodea indicates that photosynthesis is taking place. During photosynthesis, elodea utilizes carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen, leading to a change in the color of the indicator solution from blue to green.
The purpose of the experiment is to demonstrate the process of photosynthesis. When the elodea plant is added to the yellow solution (indicating acidity), it will consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis. This will cause a color change in the solution from yellow to blue as the pH increases due to the removal of carbon dioxide.
Frozen carbon dioxide is still carbon dioxide, so it is a physical change.
Nope. The pressure keeps the Carbon Dioxide dissolved in the liquid, and when that pressure is relieved, the CO2 rapidly returns to its gaseous state. None of the molecules are reacting or changing, although the CO2 switches from aqueous to gaseous phase.
