Hydrogencarbonate indicator is used to measure carbon dioxide levels.
It is red in equilibrium with atmospheric air.
It becomes more orange/yellow with increased carbon dioxide levels.
It changes from red through magenta to deep purple as carbon dioxide is removed.
pH 9.2
2. Carbon dioxide released from a burning candle or a
terrestrial organism can be added to hydrogen
carbonate indicator.
3. Start point
pH 8.4 (cherry red);
0.04% CO2 in atmosphere
Respiration or Combustion
pH 8.0 (yellow); more yellow because of increased CO2 produced
in respiration or combustion (creates carbonic acid).
4. How can we show that plants
use carbon dioxide in
photosynthesis?
6. Start point
pH 8.4 (cherry red);
0.04% CO2 in atmosphere
Photosynthesis
pH 9.2 (purple); more purple because CO2 is being removed from
the indicator for use in photosynthesis.
This reduces the amount of carbonic acid in the solution so it
becomes more alkaline
