Collection of gases Downward displacement of water Upward delivery Downward delivery Collecting 5 important gases (table)
Downward displacement of water • Downward displacement of water Suitable for collecting gases which are insoluble in water. e.g. hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide. • Not suitable for hydrogen chloride gas and ammonia gas which are very soluble in water
Upward delivery • A gas which is less dense than air can be collected by upwards delivery. • Ex: ammonia & hydrogen • A gas jar (inverted) is connected by a tube to the flask which is giving off the gas
Downward delivery • A gas which is more dense than air can be collected by downward delivery. • Ex: carbon dioxide, chlorine, hydrogen chloride & sulfur dioxide. • A gas jar (upward) is connected by a tube to the flask which is giving off the gas.
Downward vs. Upward collections • Downward delivery : • Gas jar is upward • Gas is more dense than air. • Upward delivery: • Gas jar is inverted (downward) • Gas is less dense than air.
You need to know how to collect gases produced in reactions by upward & downward delivery, over water using a gas syringe. • You need to be able to explain the method of collection if you are given information about the density & solubility of the gas concerned.
Laboratory preparation of gases Ammonia, NH3 Carbon dioxide, CO2 Chlorine, Cl2 Hydrogen, H2 Nitrogen, NO2 Oxygen, O2 Sulphur dioxide, SO2
Ammonia, NH3 • Ammonia gas can be produced in laboratory by heating an ammonium salt (ammonium chloride) with a strong alkali (sodium hydroxide). NH4Cl (s) + NaOH (aq) ……. NH3 (g) + NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) • Identification of gas Ammonia turns damp red litmus blue; & in the presence of HCl gas white fumes of ammonium chloride are formed.
Carbon dioxide, CO2 • Reacting any carbonate with any acid forms carbon dioxide; For example calcium carbonate & hydrochloric acid : CaCO3 + 2HCl ……….. CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O • Identification of gas Carbon dioxide turns lime water “milky”
Chlorine, Cl2 • Chlorine is formed by oxidation of concentrated hydrochloric acid using either manganese dioxide or potassium permanganate as the oxidising agent. MnO2 + 4HCl …… MnCl2 + Cl2 + H20 2KMnO4 + 16HCl ……. 2KCl + 5Cl2+2MnCl2 + 8 H2O • Identification of the gas. Chlorine is a pale green gas, which turns moist blue litmus paper red & then bleaches it.
Hydrogen, H2 • Any reactive metal (a meta above hydrogen in the reactivity series) will displace hydrogen from a dilute acid except for nitric acid. • Zn (s)+ HCl (aq) …………. ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) • Identification of the gas. Hydrogen gives a “popping” sound when mixed with oxygen & ignited.
Nitrogen dioxide, NO2 • Nitrogen dioxide is formed during the decom-position of metal nitrates on heating: 2Pb(NO3) 2 (s) …… 2PbO (s)+ 4NO2 (g) + O2 (g) • Sodium nitrate & potassium nitrate are exceptions as they produce the corresponding nitrite & oxygen gas instead. 2NaNO3 (s) ………. 2NaNO2 (s)+ O2 (g) • Identification of the gas. Nitrogen dioxide is a brown gas, which turns moist blue litmus red but does not bleach it.
Oxygen, O2 • Oxygen is produced by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Hydrogen peroxide naturally decomposes slowly to form oxygen & water on exposure to light. 2 H2O2 (l) ……….. 2 H2O (l) + O2 (g) • Identification of gas. Oxygen relights a glowing splint.
Sulphur dioxide, SO2 • Sulphur dioxide is formed by gently heating a sulphite salt or hydrogen sulphite with dilute hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid: Na2SO3 (s) + 2HCl (aq) ……. 2NaCl (aq) + SO2 (g) + H2O (l) Na2SO3 + H2SO4(aq) ……. Na2SO4 (aq) + SO2 (g) + H2O (l) • Identification of gas. When sulphur dioxide is bubbled through acidified potassium dichromate, the color of the solution changes from orange to green.
Michael Faraday A natural law regulates the advance of science. Where only observation can be made, the growth of knowledge creeps; where laboratory experiments can be carried on, knowledge leaps forward.
