Orsat Apparatus
The Orsat apparatus is used to measure volumes of carbon dioxide, oxygen and carbon monoxide within a fixed volume of a sample gas (100cc). However it is not particularly accurate at detecting very low concentrations.
The Orsat apparatus works using a very simple method. To find the volume of a particular gas within the sample a fixed volume of the sampled gas is passed through a specific solution which absorbs only the required gas. The remaining volume of the gas can then be re- measured and compared with the original volume to find the proportion of a specific gas within the sample.
The sampled gas is passed through a sequence of solutions each removing one of the gases and the remaining volume calculated afterwards. A solution of caustic potash is used to absorb the carbon dioxide, a mixture of pyrogallic acid, caustic potash and water is used to absorb the oxygen, and to remove the carbon monoxide a solution of cuprous chloride is used.
BUT AS SUGGESTED USE ELECTRONIC TESTING, IT IS MORE ACCURATE.

Flue gas analysis by Orsat apparatus?
The Orsat apparatus is used to analyze the composition of flue gases, typically measuring oxygen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide levels. The apparatus involves passing a known volume of flue gas through different chemical solutions to absorb specific gases, allowing for quantification of each component. This analysis helps assess combustion efficiency and environmental impact of fuel-burning processes.
How do you determine Carbon Monoxide Carbon Dioxide Oxygen and Hydrogen contents in a sample of producer gas by Orsat Apparatus?
In an Orsat apparatus, Carbon Monoxide is absorbed by a solution of potassium hydroxide, Carbon Dioxide is absorbed by a solution of potassium hydroxide and pyrogallol, and Oxygen is absorbed by a solution of alkaline pyrogallol. Hydrogen is typically calculated by the difference in the volume of the sample gas before and after the absorption process. By measuring the volume changes in the different absorption bulbs, you can calculate the percentages of each gas component in the sample of producer gas.

Why should a apparatus be clamped to a metal ring?
Clamping an apparatus to a metal ring provides stability and prevents accidental tipping or shifting during an experiment. This ensures the safety of both the apparatus and the person working with it.
Name the apparatus that can be used to separate a mixture of mustard oil and water. Explain its working?

What is the principle and working of clevenger apparatus?
three fosters control the work of clevenger: boiling temperature of the distillator density and hydrophobic ability.
Why orsat analysis is a dry analysis?
Orsat analysis is considered a dry analysis because it measures the composition of a gas sample without any moisture present. The gas sample is dried before analysis to ensure accurate results and to eliminate the presence of water vapor, which can affect the readings of the analysis.
