How to choose gas preparation apparatus
- Making a gas: the Gas Generator Kipps is a polyethylene generator in three parts, with a thistle funnel and bulb through which dilute acid is added to react with the solid.
- Collecting it: as gas collection apparatus, the Gas Jars, the circular soda-glass Troughs Pneumatic and the porcelain Beehive Shelves work together over water; the Woulf Bottle has two necks and comes in 250, 500 and 1000 ml sizes.
- Electrolysis apparatus: the Hoffman Voltameter has two connected limbs graduated 50 x 0.2 ml with stopcocks and a reservoir bulb; the Water Voltameter has two platinum electrodes in a glass cup; the Voltmeter Copper uses copper plates in a plastic jar.
- Combustion and flame tests: the Combustion Spoon (20 cm) fits 150 x 25 mm test tubes, the Deflagrating Spoon is 35 cm long, the Charcoal Blocks and Blow Pipe Burner serve blowpipe tests, and the Cobalt Glass is used for the potassium flame test.
