glass is placed. In this setup a rat was placed and the bell
jar along with rat and KOH solution is kept in sunlight.
What will happen to the rat, will it survive or not give
reason?​

Answer 1

Answer:

KOH has the capacity to absorb carbon dioxide. so if the plant is near the KOH solution , then the plant absorb carbon dioxide and involve in photosynthesis and release oxygen. the rat will take the oxygen and release co2 and plant receive it and again release o2.this process continue. hence, rat will not die.
