You are provided with the following apparatus: an oxygen cylinder a hard glass tube a sample of titanium powder two clamp stands rubber tubing two bungs with glass tubing a ceramic container Bunsen burner An appropriate procedure would involve: 4384 measuring the mass of the ceramic container plus titanium, passing oxygen gas over the heated titanium, allowing the apparatus to cool, measuring the mass of the titanium oxide remaining after the reaction. 6 [Turn over (a) Draw a labelled diagram to show how the apparatus would be arranged to carry out the experiment. Examiner Only Marks Remark [3] (b) Before the cylinder is used, a test is carried out to see if the gas inside is oxygen. Describe a suitable test. _________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ [2] (c) Titanium has a melting point of 1660 C which is similar to that of iron.
