To ensure that the plunger can move and not stuck. Because if it is stuck, when the gas goes into the syringe, the plunger will not move back and so the values you received will be lower than the actual value
Think about what happens to the gas (air) inside the syringe when the temperature decreases. As the gas cools it will occupy a smaller volume and thus the syringe plunger will move DOWN the barrel.

You cannot use a gas syringe for this experiment.
All gasses and vapors are compressible, whereas liquids and solids are not compressible to any useful extent. The compressibility of gasses is due to the much greater spacing of its molecules than would exist in its liquid or solid state; in fact, if you compress a gas far enough, it will eventually become a liquid, and then a solid. The compressibility of gasses is a very useful property that allows us to run machinery and to make aerosol sprays.
It is used to hold a gas syringe in place when carrying out an experiment. The gas syringe will fill up with gas and you can read the amount of gas within it using the measuring lines. Hope it helped. Ask for any other queries that need answering.
The fluid or gas inside the syringe will decrease in temperature, therefore it will decrease in volume. This will cause the syringe piston to slide inside the syringe. This is because of the ideal gas law: PV=nRT. If the pressure (P), the number of moles (n), and the ideal gas constant (R) remains constant, than the change in volume must be proportional to the change in temperature.
A gas syringe is basically a device that fills up with a gas that is produced and gives a volume for that gas. Gas from a reaction is forced into the syringe due to pressure and the syringe plunger is forced out (just like how you suck up a liquid with a normal syringe). It can be used to detect the volume of gas produced in a chemical reaction for instance.See the Web Links to the left for more information.

Is it to push and pull the gas into the syringe or something else?

A gas syringe is used to measure and dispense liquids or insert and withdraw a volume of gas. These syringes vary in sizes and can collect from 500 ml to 0.25 ml of gas.
