None
Mercury absorbs oxygen present in water during combustion and forms mercuric oxide.
During the experiment done by Antonie Lavoisier for discovery of oxygen, the level of mercury in the bell jar rose by:
Q1. (i) In the experiment to demonstrate anaerobic respiration we are using mercury in the test tube and the beaker why can't we use water instead?
(ii). Also tell the use of lime water in the experiments on respiration
