(b) A student uses this apparatus to determine the percentage of oxygen in a

sample of air.

wet iron wool

column of air

water

This is the student’s method.

• measure the initial length of the column of air in the tube

• leave the apparatus for one week

• measure the final length of the column of air

The table shows the student’s results.

initial length of column of air in mm 84

final length of column of air in mm 69
