Research Question
What is the effect of temperature on the solubility of carbon dioxide gas in de-ionised water under constant pressure?

Introduction Temperature is known as one of the factors that affect the solubility of a gas in its solvent. Because the enthalpy of solution for gases dissolved …show more content…

Seal the flask with a bung (with a glass tube inserted in the middle) and set up the apparatus for gas collection as shown below:

Figure 1. Diagrammic representation of how the apparatus should be set up to collect carbon dioxide gas, produced from a reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate, in a gas syringe

1M hydrochloric acid calcium carbonate gas syringe* rubber tube pinch clamp glass tube funnel stoppered conical flask

*Make sure the plunger of the gas syringe is pushed inward to maximum.

4. Open the pinch clamp and let the 1M hydrochloric acid flow down into the conical flask containing marble chips.
5. Leave the pinch clamp open until almost all hydrochloric acid flows down.
6. Close the clamp when there is very small amount of hydrochloric acid left in the funnel but enough to prevent any gas entering.
7. Pour more hydrochloric acid to the funnel.
8. Repeat steps 4. to 7. to continue collecting the gas produced by the reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid, until 45mL of gas is filled in the gas syringe, as indicated by to what number on the gas syringe the plunger has been pushed outward.
9. Pull out the gas syringe from the rubber tube and, with the syringe still headed upward, push the plunger up until the volume of gas in it reaches 30mL,
