Study Notes
Air Composition and Burning
- The activity with the bottle immersed in water demonstrates that air contains a gas that supports burning – oxygen.
- Oxygen is the main constituent of air.
- When the bottle is tilted, water rushes into the bottle because the space inside is occupied by air, which is mostly oxygen.
- The activity with the candle placed in a big bowl demonstrates that burning requires oxygen, and when the oxygen is consumed, the flame goes out.
- The activity with the bottle immersed in water demonstrates that air is not just empty space, it contains gases.
Ozone Layer
- The ozone layer in the Earth's atmosphere protects humans from harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun.
Respiration and Burning
- Carbon dioxide is produced when burning something.
- Carbon dioxide is also released when plants and animals undergo respiration.
Water Vapor in the Air
- The presence of water vapor in the air can be verified by observing the formation of dew or mist.
- The presence of water vapor in the air can be verified by observing the condensation of water vapor on a cold surface.
Other Gases
- Nitrogen is another gas present in the Earth's atmosphere.
- Helium is not mentioned as a component of air in the text.
