Name a chemical used in experiments, which absorbs oxygen
Dear student.
O2 is absorbed by alkaline pyragallol.
Pyrogallol belongs to phenol family. Its IUPAC name benzene-1,2,3-triol. It is used as a photographic film developer and in chemical synthesis.
1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene gets oxidised in presence of O2 and so it absorbs O2.
Regards
