Properties of air § colourless (無色) odourless (無味) § mixture of different gases: § nitrogen (氮) 78 % oxygen (氧) 21 % carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) 0. 03 % noble gases (惰性氣體) 0. 9 % water vapour (水蒸氣) variable
Tests for gases O 2 CO 2 N 2 colourless smell no smell burning splint relight (重燃) goes out glowing splint relight goes out hydrogencarbonate red indicator lime water purple colourless red yellow milky remain red colourless
Nitrogen (N 2) n Percentage in air: 78 % (about 4/5 of the air) n Characteristics: colourless odourless very un-reactive(stable) (穩定) most in the air
Nitrogen (cont’d) n Uses: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. § used in electronic industry make electronic parts cooling effect (-196 °C) fast freezing (急凍) fertilizers (肥料) fireworks (煙花) anaesthetic (麻醉藥) Test(s): no simple test
Oxygen (O 2) n Percentage in air: 21 % n Characteristics: colourless odourless support burning (助燃)
Oxygen (cont’d) n Uses: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. § need for all living things to keep alive (生存) medical use baby in oxygen box burning BBQ diving (潛水) : the breathing (呼吸) of diver welding (燒焊) Test(s): a glowing (半熄滅的) splint (木條) : relight
Carbon Dioxide (CO 2) n Percentage in air: 0. 03 % n Characteristics: colourless odourless
Carbon Dioxide (cont’d) n Uses: 1. 2. 3. 4. § need for plant photosynthesis (光合作用) making soft drinks (汽水) fire extinguishers (滅火器) dry ice (乾冰) Test(s): hydrogencarbonate indicator : red to yellow lime water : colourless to milky
Noble gases(inert gases) n Examples: helium, neon, xenon, argon n Percentage in air: 0. 9 % n Characteristics: colourless odourless chemically stable
Noble gases (cont’d) n Uses: 1. 2. 3. 4. fill in light bulb prevent overheat (過熱) of filament used in advertising signs (廣告牌) glow in different colour when electric current passed helium replace hydrogen fill in airships or balloons diving : mixture of helium & oxygen
Water vapour n Percentage in air: variable n Characteristics: colourless odourless condense to water droplets (水滴) on a cold surface § Test(s): dry cobalt chloride paper : blue to pink Can’t use our hands to touch the paper !!!
Relative humidity n n humidity : amount of water vapour in the air relative humidity : amount of water vapour in the air max. amount of water vapour in the air at the same temp.
Breathed & unbreathed air burning splint hydrogencarbonate indicator cobalt chloride paper Breathed air Unbreathed air goes out quickly goes out slowly red blue yellow remain unchange(red) pink remain unchange
Summary of activities aim : carry out simple tests to show the composition of air conclusion : oxygen relights a glowing splint & burns more intensely for a burning splint carbon dioxide turns hydrogencarbonate indicator from red to yellow & turns lime water from colourless to milky no simple test for nitrogen
Summary of activities (cont’d) aim : to prove the existence (存在) of oxygen in the air conclusion : there is oxygen in the air is not totally made up of oxygen
Summary of activities (cont’d) aim : find out the percentage of oxygen in the air conclusion : rise in water level 100 % = ~ 21 % length of boiling tube air contains about 21 % of oxygen
Summary of activities (cont’d) aim : to prove the existence of carbon dioxide in the air conclusion : air contains a small amount of carbon dioxide
Summary of activities (cont’d) aim : to prove the existence of water vapour in the air conclusion : air contains a small amount of water vapour
Summary of activities (cont’d) aim : find out the difference between breathed & unbreathed air conclusion : characteristics of breathed air : 1. less oxygen 2. more carbon dioxide 3. more water vapour 4. warmer
Hydrogencarbonate indicator % of carbon dioxide colour of indicator > 0. 03 (e. g. breathed air) yellow about 0. 03 (e. g. atmosphere) red < 0. 03 purple
Hydrogen v. s. Helium Hydrogen Helium light in mass danger (may lead explosion) safe (chemically stable) not recommended to use : to fill airship or balloons
