Hydrilla Experiment

                     HYDRILLA EXPERIMENT 

Introduction:The end product of photosynthesis are oxygen(O2),water and starch. So one of the end product is oxygen, which is proved by this experiment. 
Aim:To prove oxygen is evolved during  Photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight. 
Apparatus:Beaker, Water, Test tube ,hydrilla plant twig, Funnel, Sunlight 
Procedure :1)place hydrilla plant twig in a Short stemmed funnel and keep in a breaker containing water. 
                     2)Invert a test tube full of water over the stem of the funnel .
                     3)Place the apparatus in the sun for at least 2-3hours .
                   4)After some time observe the apparatus .

Observation :1)Gas bubble i. e, oxygen is evolved at the end of the test tube and remove the test tube gently. 
                         2)Test the gas in the test tube by inserting a glowing incense Which would burst into flames. 
                       3)This show the presence of  oxygen. 
Result :By this experiment we proved that oxygen is produced during photosynthesis in the presence of Sunlight .
