What are the advantages of kipps apparatus?

Answer 1

The main advantage is when creating a gas from a liquid and a solid, it contains the gas, has a hose with stock to decide what to gas and stopping the flow, the main advantage however is preventing a pressurized reaction vessel to explode.

There chambers make up the body, many times a fourth extra top piece is added as a back up respvior for back flow/over flow. The standard ise is putting the solid in the middle chamber. You will probably want some borosilicate boiling beeds or some kind of membrane that prevent the solid from leaking down to the bottom area.

After the middle contains solid reactant, you make sure the plugs/corks are in place and mid everything is set up and safety measures are in place and ready. You then fill the top with the liquid reactant, usually an acid. This will cause the liquid to go down the tube to the bottom compartment, filling until it hit the top of the bottom section and bottom of the middle where the solid is. It will produce gas as expected. Now, in case the pressure build to high the liquid will be pushed up the tube where it came from, away from the solid, stopping the production of gas and stopping the pressure from building creating an explosion.

It is used for preparing gasses CO2, H2, H2S ...
