What would you use to test a gas to see if it was carbon dioxide?
you blow into a glass of lime water and you will see weather or not it has carbon dioxide in it if it does then it will go foggy :)
How would you test a gas to see if it is carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide absorbed in water form carbonic acid; the pH of th solution is increased - this change can be evaluated with a pH paper.
Used to test for carbon dioxide?
You make it bubble through calcium hydroxide (or lime water). If it goes cloudy, then you have carbon dioxide.
How can you test a leaf for carbon dioxide?
by the process of photosynthesis
Test for carbon dioxide?
you bubble carbon dioxide through lime water and if it turns cloudy carbon doixide is present. So the answer is limewater.
