Why is sodium bicarbonate necessary in the activity to show the evolution of oxygen during photosynthesis

Open in App

Solution

Sodium bicarbonate is used in the activity to show the evolution of oxygen during photosynthesis because the bicarbonate ion serves as the carbon source for photosynthesis. Sodium bicarbonate dissociates in aqueous solution to give carbon dioxide. The rates of evolution of oxygen will increases when the amount of carbon dioxide will increase.
