give reason why oxygen is collected by the downward displacement of water and not over air?

Solution

Oxygen is collected by the downward displacement of water because it is only slightly soluble in water and is less dense than water.

It cannot be collected by downward displacement of air since oxygen will get mixed with other gases in air.
