Why we invert...

Question

Why we invert the flasks during the test for heat production during respiration?

Open in App

Solution

This is because
1)CO2 produced is a heavy gas and may escape through the cotton wool

2)Hot air rises up and inverting it will ensure that heat will not escape through cotton wool

3)It is easier to read the thermometer
