why CO2 lab preparation is used in collecting of gas?
Answers
Answer:
Co2 is carbondioxide means plants taking gas plants collecting gas so it is a known as collecting gas
Answer:
Explanation:
Making carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide is produced whenever an acid reacts with a carbonate. This makes carbon dioxide easy to make in the laboratory. Calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid are usually used because they are cheap and easy to obtain.
calcium carbonate + hydrochloric acid → calcium chloride + water + carbon dioxide
CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
Carbon dioxide can be collected over water, as shown in the diagram.
Carbon dioxide is slightly soluble in water and denser than air, so another way to collect it is in a dry, upright gas jar. As the carbon dioxide falls out of the delivery tube and into the gas jar, it pushes the less dense air out of the top of the gas jar.
