Answer:
The given statement is false. His experiment proved that the source of oxygen is water and not carbon dioxide.
Hill reaction is a reaction in which the process of photosynthesis is done in-vitro. In this reaction, the electrons are transferred from water molecules to the Hill reagents.
It was demonstrated that the oxygen originated from water only and not carbon dioxide and both the reactions, i.e. oxygen production and carbon dioxide fixation to produce sugars followed different processes.
