Question

What happens if NaOH used instead of KOH ib mohls half leaf experiment.

Answer 1

Explanation:

KOH (Potassium Hydroxide) absorbs carbon dioxide. The leaf inside the bottle containing KOH solution does not become blue black when compared with the leaf which is exposed to atmospheric air. This shows that carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis.

Answer 2

There will be no change in the the experiment is Sodium hydroxide is used in place of potassium hydroxide.

Explanation:

• Carbon dioxide is an acidic gas. As a result it reacts with both sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide to form sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate respectively. as a result of this no carbon dioxide is available for photosynthesis and by the half leaf experiment there is no change in the colour of the leaf which has been exposed in the sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide solution.
