Question
Given below is the diagram of an experimental set-up (final stage). Study the same and answer the following questions:
- What is the main aim of the experiment?
- Oxygen gas shown in the experiment is released from which of the raw materials?
- How would you confirm the presence of oxygen gas?
- Name the chemical substance which can be added in water to enhance the process/rate of release of oxygen gas.
- Draw a neat and labelled diagram of the same experiment for its initial stage.

Solution
- To demonstrate that oxygen is generated during the process of photosynthesis.
- The emission of oxygen gas is a result of the interaction between carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.
- The bursting of flames from a splinter in close proximity to the test container proves the presence of oxygen.
- Sodium Bicarbonate
