  • question_answer 1)
    Why a solution of potassium hydroxide used to absorb carbon dioxide evolved during the estimation of carbon present in an organic compound?

    Answer:

    Carbon dioxide \[(C{{O}_{2}})\] slightly acidic in nature, therefore it reacts with the wrong base KOH to form\[{{K}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]. \[2KOH+C{{O}_{2}}(g)\to {{K}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}+{{H}_{2}}O\] Increase in the weight of potash bulbs will give the weight of \[C{{O}_{2}}\] evolved.
