What is the concentration of nitrogen in the air
78%
What is the concentration of oxygen in the air
21%

How do you measure the concentration of oxygen in the air
By reacting it with another metal and finding the decrease in volume of air
What are the 2 common faults of the experiment of finding the concentration of oxygen in the air
1) Wasn’t given enough time to react
2) There was a leak in the apparatus
Metal + Oxygen = ? (+State)
Metal oxide (Solid)
Non-Metal + Oxygen = ? (+State)
Non-Metal dioxide (Solid)
