Collecting Gas

The method used to collect a particular gas depends on
1)  Is the gas more or less dense than air?
2)   Is the gas soluble in water?


All
gases can be collected using a gas syringe.

If a gas is less dense than air it can be collected
by upward delivery.

If a gas is more dense than air it can be collected
by downward delivery.

If a gas is not soluble (or only slightly soluble) in water
it can be collected over water.

When a gas has been collected it can be tested.
