1 of 7
What is the name of the experiment to determine the percentage of oxygen in air?
Rusting of Iron / Copper turning experiment.

Explain one of these experiments
A) Dampen iron wool with water. Push into bottom of boiling tube. Invert into half full water beaker. Use rubber band to mark initial vol. of water level. Leave for a week. Water level shouldve risen to replace w/ oxygen that has reacted w/ ion.

What is the calculation to work out the percentage of oxygen in air?
Volume of oxygen used / original volume of air in tube x100
4 of 7
Explain the other experiment
Two syringes joined together by tube of copper turnings. One syringe full of air (100cm3). Heat copper turnings and air passes between tubes until vol. of air is constant
