Since Oxygen is a gas, it is less dense than water...hense it will float.
If you produced Oxygen underwater, as it is produced, it will buble up. If you place some type of container (filled with water) above the bubbles, the Oxygen will collect there and displace (push out) the water.

Why can't chlorine gas be collected by the method of water displacement?
because it is highly soluble in water
Which one of these can not be used with the displacement method a rock a sugar cube block of wood oxygen gas a whale a coin?
A sugar cube, since the sugar cube will dissolve in the water and you will not be able to measure the increase in volume.
What is water displacement?
Water displacement is simply when something (e.g. a block) is put into water, and the water level rises. This is because the block is taking up space, and the water has to move somewhere, and the only place to go is up.
What is a water displacement?
Water displacement is when you put something in water and it gets displaced By Anne
How do you collect pure oxygen?
I don't know how scientists collect oxygen, but you can run an electric current through water(electrolysis) and have test tubes at the ends of each wire that you are placing in the water. Hydrogen will be found in the wire that is connected to the cathode(negative end) of the battery. Oxygen will be found at the anode(positive end). Have fun collecting oxygen, be careful with this experiment though.
Why were you able to collect butane gas through water displacement method?
Butane is Hydrocarbon, and hydrocrabons are insoluble in water, so they can be bubbled through water with very little of it going into solution. This makes, water displacement is a good method for collecting them.
What is the name for the method of using the displacements of water to find the volume of a strange shaped object?
Displacement method.... Is the method to find volume of an irregular object
Why are the first bubble allowed to escape in water displacement method in collecting hydrogen gas?
the first few bubbles are air but not pure H2
What year did the water displacement method get invented?
1796
How can you tell the mass of the water displaced?
use the water displacement method.
How could you measure the volume of granulated sugar?
Use the water displacement method
What is a description of the water displacement method?
The water displacement method is a way of measuring how much volume an object takes up. You fill a container with water, place the object in the water, and observe how much the water level rises.
How do you measure the density of an irregular object like a ball?
You need to do the water displacement method. The water displacement needs a graduated cylinder and water.
What is the name of the method by which the volume of an irregularly shaped object is found?
the water displacement method
How do you measure 3 water balloons in water?
Using the eureka can or the water displacement method.
What is the process called when the volume an irregular shaped object is found by putting it into a graduated cylinder of water?
water displacement or the displacement method
Why is displacement of water an example of an indirect measurement?
Water displacement is a method to measure volume
