Question

The following experimental set-ups were kept in the laboratory to show that ‘CO2 is given out during respiration’.



After two hours, students observed that water rises in the delivery tube:
(1) only in set up (A)
(2) only in set up (B)
(3) in both (A) and (B)
(4) neither in set up (A) nor in set up (B)

Solution

In this experiment, the water will rise only in set up A. In set up A, the flask is made air tight with the help of a cork whereas in set up B, a cotton plug is used. It does not create an air tight condition as a result of which water would not rise in set up B.

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
