Answer:
Correct option is (2) Carbon dioxide.
Explanation:
KOH ,is known as Potassium hydroxide. It is a basic solution, while carbon dioxide is acidic in nature. When an acidic compound reacts with a basic compound , water and salt is formed as the product. This reaction is known as the neutralisation reaction. In this case, KOH absorbs carbon dioxide , and it leads to the formation of potassium carbonate and water as the product. This process is applied for the estimation of carbon in the organic compounds.
The overall reaction of this process is:
2KOH + CO2 → K2CO3 + H2O
