How could you approximate the percentage by
volume of oxygen in air using a metal?
- Place wet iron filings inside the end of a burette
- Stand the burette vertically over a trough of water using a clamp
- Record the starting height of the water in the burette
- After a few weeks record the final height of the water in the burette
- The decrease in the volume of air is the volume of oxygen that was
originally in the burette
- Calculate the % of oxygen in air using the change in volume
compared to the original volume of air in the burette

When approximating the percentage by
volume of oxygen in air using a metal,
why does the water level in the burette
rise?

When approximating the percentage by volume of
oxygen in air using a metal, why does the water level
in the burette rise?
- The metal in the burette will react with the
oxygen to form a metal oxide
- The volume of oxygen that the metal has
reacted with will be replaced by water

The percentage of oxygen in the air is
being approximated using a metal.
During the experiment, the water level in
3
the burette decreases from 20cm to
3
16cm . What percentage of oxygen is in
the air?

The percentage of oxygen in the air is being
approximated using a metal. During the experiment,
the water level in the burette goes from 20cm3 to
16cm3. What percentage of oxygen is in the air?

20 - 16 = 4cm3 used up
(4 ÷ 20) x 100 = 20% oxygen in the air

How could you approximate the percentage by
volume of oxygen in air using a non metal?
- Float an evaporating dish of phosphorus in a trough of water
- Ignite the phosphorous
- Place a bell jar into the water trough, covering the dish
- Record the starting height of the water level in the bell jar
- Leave the apparatus for a few days
- Measure the final water level in the bell jar
- The decrease in the volume of air is the volume of oxygen originally in jar
- Calculate the % of oxygen in air using the change in volume compared to
the original volume

non-metal, why does the water level in
the bell jar rise?

When approximating the percentage by volume of
oxygen in air using a non-metal, why does the water
level in the bell jar rise?
The combustion of the non-metal uses up
oxygen so the water level rises to replace
the volume of oxygen used up
