27. DISCUSSION Which of the following control experiments that you could perform with the equipment available in this lab to determine if there was error due to water contamination in the O₂ source? Perform the experiment with no sample in the chamber and see if water is trapped in the NaOH trap. Perform the experiment with no sample in the chamber and see if water is trapped in the P₂O; trap. See if water droplets condense on the inside walls of the chamber. There is no way to test for water in the oxygen unless we know the correct empirical formula.
