(b) Six boiling tubes were filled with fresh pond water, to which some hydrogencarbonate
indicator solution was added. This indicator is red in water of pH 7, purple when carbon
dioxide levels are low and yellow when carbon dioxide levels are high.
The tubes and their contents were set up in daylight, as shown in Table 1.1.

A student cut pieces of potato to the same length and placed them in boiling tubes
containing a range of sugar solutions. Two pieces were placed into each boiling tube.
Each piece was remeasured after 24 hours. Table 3.1 shows the results of the experiment.
