Gas produced during reaction will produce bubbles due to the property of surface tension of the liquid. Air or gas is less denser than the liquid in which it is produced. Also due to Archimedes principle, the weight of the liquid displaced by the air or gas bubble will be more than that of bubble itself. So upward buoyant force is heavy which pushes the bubbles to the top of the test tube.

If a chemical reaction produces a gas how can that gas be captured in a test tube?

To capture a gas produced in a chemical reaction in a test tube, you can use a rubber stopper with a glass tube inserted into it. As the gas is produced, it displaces the liquid in the test tube and fills the space above. The glass tube allows for a controlled release of the gas when needed.

What happens if ammonium chloride is heated in a test-tube with a long neck?

When ammonium chloride is heated in a test-tube with a long neck, it will sublimate directly from a solid to a gas without melting. The gas will then travel up the long neck of the test tube and may condense back into solid form upon cooling, forming a white crystalline residue at the top of the tube.
