How can chlorine gas be collected?

By downward delivery. (:


Does sodium and chlorine have the same reactivities?

NO!!! However, if you have a gas jar of chlorine, and place a pellet of sodium in it, they will react to form sodium chloride (salt)


Does chlorine dissolve?

Yes, it dissolves to form a mixture of hydrochloric and hypochlorous acids known as chlorine water. For this reason it cannot be collected over water, though saturated brine can be used.


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).


What is the use of a beehive shelf in chemistry labs?

A beehive shelf is a piece of laboratory equipment, usually of pottery, used to support a receiving jar or tube while a gas is being collected over water with a pneumatic trough.

How would you capture hydrogen from a chemical reaction of an acid and a metal?

The hydrogen in such a reaction can effectively be collected using an apparatus called the gas jar. THis can be done by fitting the reaction flask with cork and a delivery tube running from the reaction flask to the gas jar. As the reaction proceed, the hydrogen evolved will be collected in the gas jar.

What would one find in a Christmas jar?

A Christmas jar might contain ingredients to make cookies, collected coins, or holiday decorations. People have also added a short note explaining the significance of the jar in hopes that the tradition will spread.


Explain why chlorine gas is collected at a slower rate than hydrogen?

Because the weight / density of chlorine is more than hydrogen. Hence the rate of displacement will be less than that of hydrogen.
