Methods for Determining Oxygen Content in Air

The video tutorial explains the importance of oxygen and its reactivity, which can lead to corrosion and food spoilage. It describes methods to determine oxygen content in air using reactions with metals and non-metals. Three experiments are detailed: using copper, iron, and phosphorus to measure oxygen by observing changes in volume or height in a sealed system.
