Sugar or oxygen gas
Question asked by: mselajah
Asked on: 11 Aug 2008
What you need to do is substitute the oxygen in there with an isotope of it that is radioactive.
So then run the reaction and look at the product.
If the carbon dioxide at the end is radioactive then you khow that the oxygen there came from the O2 you used, but if however it is not then it must be that it has come from the sugar.
So there you go a simple way to do this!
