Question
The following diagram refers to an apparatus which is used to demonstrate a physiological process:
What is the purpose of keeping potassium hydroxide solution in test tubes X and Y?
Solution
Potassium hydroxide solution is kept in test tube X and Y to check the presence of CO2, as KOH can absorb CO2 if it is produced.
