Ingenhousz Experiment

Objective
To prove the photosynthesis result is O2

Base theory
Plants as the autotroph organism have ability to produce organic matter from anorganic matter. This ability because plants have organel called chloroplast. In the daylight, the sunshine reach the chloroplast and plants can transform H2O and CO2 into carbohydrate and O2. Carbohydrate will be saved as food reserves and to build cell wall.
The reaction of photosynthesis:
6H2O + 6CO2 ----> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Tools and materials

  • test tube
  • bekker glass (1000 ml)
  • funnel
  • water plants 
  • matches
Procedure of experiment

  • Fill the bekker glass with 800 ml of water.
  • Prepare the plant, put the plant in the funnel.
  • Enter the funnel and the plant into bekker glass with inverted.
  • Enter the tip of the funnel into the test tube.
  • Look at the picture!
  • Place the bekker glass in the outside (there is sunshine).
  • Waiting for 15 minutes.
  • Lift the test tube and closed its hole with your hand.
  • Light a match and open the test tube hole, look at the fire.
