Q

Describe an experiment to determine the percentage of oxygen in the air

A

Iron wool is placed at the end of a test tube and the test tube is placed in a beaker of water (upside down.) leave the iron wool until the water stops rising. Oxygen has been used up making iron (111) oxide. Then calculate the percentage of oxygen using this : volume of oxygen divided by total volume in measuring cylinder x 100

A

No, it is too hard to collect the hydrogen and dangerous of extract the metal

A

These oxides usually do not dissolve in water
They do not react with alkalis to form salts and neither do they react with acids
Non metal oxides are usually of this type
