Nitrogen =78%
Argon=0.9%
CO2=0.037%
Describe oxygen
Colourless
odourless gas
Slightly soluble
What is oxygen used for
Welding torches
Rocket fuel
Reaching apparatuse
Respiration equation
Sugar+oxygen ✔️ Carbon dioxide +water(+energy)
Rustling equation
Iron+oxygen+water ✔️ Hydrated iron oxide
Burning fuel equation
Fuel+oxygen ✔️ carbon dioxide+water+energy
A fuel reacts with oxygen to release
Energy
Chemical test for water
Presence of water turns anhydrous copper from white to blue
Why can we collect oxygen over water
As it is only slightly soluble in water
How do we prepare a sample of oxygen
By the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide using manganese’s dioxide as a catalyst
What happens during the test for oxygen
Bubbles of gas can be seen and the test tube empties
Concluded on the test for oxygen
Oxygen is prepared by “the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide
To speed this reaction up we used manganese dioxide. Manganese dioxide is a catalyst.
What is the ets for oxygen
Relight a glowing splint
Draw the apparatus for the preparation of oxygen
Side arm test tube is held by a clamp .I contains hydrogen peroxide and manganese dioxide catalyst . Delivery tube connects to test tube over a water trough
Equation for the preps of oxygen
Manganese dioxide
Hydrogen peroxide ✔️ water+oxygen
Catalyst
A catalyst is a chemical that speeds up an a reaction without being used up itself
Iron as. A catalyst
Making ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen
Platinum as a catalyst
Making nitric acids from ammonia
