  1. (2 points) Soda lime is a mixture of sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide and can be used to measure the rate of CO2 production by soil microorganisms. It reacts with CO2 as follows:

Ca(OH)2 + 2 NaOH + 2CO2 Æ CaCO3 + Na2CO3 + 2H2O

Assume the following:

I. Weight of dry soda lime just before the experiment: ‘A’ gm

II. ‘A’ gm soda lime incubated with soil in airtight container for 4 days and weighed: B gm

III. ‘A’ gm soda lime incubated without soil in airtight container for 4 days and weighed: C gm

IV. Sample II dried and weighed: Bd

V. Sample III dried and weighed: Cd

(Assume that soil moisture has no effect on the results.) Answer the following questions:

i. Amount of CO2 present in air inside the container: 37 Answer: ___________

ii. Amount of CO2 produced by soil organisms: Answer: ___________
