200 cm3 of air was passed over heated copper in a syringe several times to produce copper (II) oxide.
When cooled, the final volume of air recorded was 158cm3. Estimate the percentage of oxygen in the air?
31%
27%
21%
19%

Explanation

Volume of O2 used = 200 - 158 = 42 cm3
% of O2 = (42)/(200) x 100% = 21%
