The experiment is about testing the release of carbon-dioxide from the plants during respiration.
The main purpose of using freshly prepared KOH in the experiment is to test for the presence of CO₂ that has been released by the growing and respiring plant.
The KOH will absorb the CO₂ and form K₂CO₃ and releases water.
KOH + CO₂ → K₂CO₃ + H₂O
When all the CO₂ has been absorbed by the KOH in the watch glass, a vacuum will be created in the experimental set-up.
