MiniLab 2-2  paragraph 1

Detecting Carbon Dioxide Carbon dioxide is a waste chemical given off during respiration. It is a colorless, odorless gas. There are certain chemicals called indicators that can be used to detect this gas. One indicator , called bromothymol blue, will change from its normal blue color to green or yellow if carbon dioxide is present.

Detecting Carbon Dioxide Carbon dioxide is given off during respiration. When carbon dioxide is dissolved in water an acid is formed. Certain chemicals called indicators can be used to detect acids. One indicator called bromothymol blue, will change from its normal blue color to green or yellow if an acid is present.
