Steel Wool and Oxygen: A Look at Kinetics
Gordon, James; Chancey, Katherine
Journal of Chemical Education, v82 n7 p1065-1067 Jul 2005
An experiment is demonstrated to determine the percentage of oxygen in air using a pretreated piece of steel wool, which is an alternative to spectroscopic kinetic analysis. Students are able to determine the order of reaction for oxygen in its reaction with the iron in steel wool, and are able to use the existing technology to collect and analyze the data.
