In a demonstration experiment the indirect detection of oxygen can be carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere or vacuum to prove that the oxygen really does originate from the compound.
Learning objectives
- A very large number of organic compounds contain oxygen.
- Oxygen can be detected as water when such substances decompose.
Benefits
- Easy teaching and efficient learning by using interactive experimentation PHYWE-Software
- Experiment is part of a complete solution set with experiments for the topic Organic Chemistry matched with international curriculum: all topics are covered
