Which gas may be collected over water?

No, only those that do not dissolve in water, or they will dissolve in the water rather than bubble through it to be collected. Examples of gases that can be collected over water include:- Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen (only slightly soluble), methane, carbon monoxide. Examples of gases that can just be collected over water (quie soluble - so much will be dissolved in the water as well):- Nitrogen dioxide, carbon dioxide, chlorine Examples of gases that are too soluble to be collected over water:- hydrogen chloride, ammonia (which is the most soluble of all gases) Both of these gases are collected by displacement of air - hydrogen chloride by the gas jar being held as in a glass - with the base on the table - because it is heavier than air (chlorine and carbod dioxide can be collected like this too) and and ammonia by the gas jar being held upside down to trap the ammonia (as it is lighter than air).
