Ammonia, being lighter than air, is collected by the downward displacement of air in an inverted gas jar.

Bromine gas is put into 1 jar and then a gas jar of air is placed over it after a few minutes the bromine gas can be seen filling both gas jars why?

What has occured is a process called diffusion, which is the spreading of particles from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. The particles in any gas move quicly and in all directions and fill their container because there are no bonds between them. The jar with the bromine gas has a higher concentration of the gas particles, they move through the air particles to the jar with the lower concentration of bromine gas until they are dispersed evenly throughout the jar, hence the gas can be seen filling both jars. The same would happen with a clear gas but bromine is used for demonstration purposes as it has a colour and so the process can be seen clearly.


Is air sealed in a jar a gas?

Yes it's a gas, and if it is 'air' then it's a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, argon and tiny amounts of other gasses.


I smelled too much ammonia in the lab today and it was like 50 ml jar and I'm having headache is there any danger?

In addition to being a chemical agent, ammonia is a natural waste product of amino acid metabolism and is generated inside your body constantly. Therefore your body possesses the appropriate pathways to clear ammonia if the exposure is mild. However, if the headache does not subside within a day or two, contact a doctor.


Why collect hydrogen gas in a test tube rather than glass jar?

It is so it is easy to burn (with a squeaky pop!)

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 is Diagram of preparation of dry ammonia gas?

ammonia is prepared by adding any ammonium salt to an alkali. a vivid mixture of slaked lime and calcium chloride are placed in a round bottomed hard glass flask. the glass is inserted in a retort stand with its mouth facing downwards with a delivery tube inserted from the glass to a drying glass containing quicklime or calcium oxide. a gas jar is inverted above the drying glass...


Will a candle burn twice as longer in an inverted liter jar than in a half-liter jar?

Yes. There is twice as much oxygen in a liter jar.


What happens when a gas jar containing air is inverted over a gas jar containing brown red bromine vapour?

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to one of low concentration. As NO2 is heavier than air, diffusion takes place and hence after some time the brown colour is seen in jar containing air. Geethanjali Somisetty


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).


How do you make hydrogen at home?

Simply,with dilute Sulphuric Acid and Zinc as essential compounds,You need a woulfs botttle,a funnel and a gas jar as well.First,fill the bottle with zinc chips and fit the funnel.Then connect a pipe from that bottle to a gas jar.Pour the acid through the funnel and the reaction starts.It's an exothermic reaction and releases heat.You'll get the H gas collected in the jar.


in one of the gas jars the gas goes out immediately. name the gas in the jar?

If the gas jar is standing with its opening to the top, then the escaping gas is Hydrogen. If the gas jar is being held upside down ( opening to the bottom), then the escaping gas is carbon dioxide.
