  • Respiration Experiment
    • Potassium hydroxide solution or sodium hydroxide is used to absorb carbon dioxide
    • limewater is used to test for the presence of carbon dioxide, when carbon dioxide is present, a white precipitate forms in the limewater, turning it cloudy
  • Respiration Experiment
    • hydrogencarbonate indicator detect changes in carbon dioxide concentration
    • carbon dioxide is acidic
  • Respiration Experiment
    • in fermentation, yeast releases ethanol and carbon dioxide as waste products during anaerobic respiration
