Testing and Preparing Common Gases

This includes CO2, O2, H2, NH3 and Cl2

?
How can you make H2?
acid + metal ==> salt + hydrogen
1 of 17
How is H2 collected?
1) over water 2) UP into a gas jar 3) into a gas syringe
2 of 17
What is the test for H2?
"Squeaky pop" noise with a lighted splint
3 of 17
How can you make O2?
Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 ==> O2 and H2O)
4 of 17
How is O2 collected?
1) over water 2) DOWN into a gas jar 3) into a gas syringe
5 of 17
What is the test for O2?
relights a glowing splint
6 of 17
How can you make CO2?
React acid and carbonate
7 of 17
How is CO2 collected?
1) over water 2) DOWN into a gas jar 3) into a gas syringe
8 of 17
What is the test for CO2?
It turns limewater from clear and colourless to cloudy white
9 of 17
How can you make NH3?
base/ alkali + ammonium salt ==> salt + water + AMMONIA
10 of 17
How is NH3 collected?
1) into a gas jar 2) into a gas syringe
11 of 17
What is the test for NH3?
ammonia turns damp pink litmus paper blue [colourless gas but pungent smell]
12 of 17
How is Cl2 collected?
1) over water 2) DOWN into a gas jar 3) into a gas syringe
13 of 17
What is the test for Cl2?
chlorine turns damp blue litmus to pink, and immediatly bleaches it white [pale yellow green gas]
14 of 17
Why can't NH3 be collected over water?
It is too soluble.
15 of 17
Why are some gases collected up a gas jar and some down?
Dense gases are collected down because they sink and visa versa.
