  2. Sodium bicarbonate rocket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_bicarbonate_rocket

    The alka-seltzer rocket experiment demonstrates Newton's third law. The film canister rocket has a buildup of gas that wants to come out of the weakest spot making all the gas come out at once through the hole at the bottom. The gas comes out from the underside and pushes the rocket up.

  4. Ammonia fountain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_fountain

    The experiment consists of introducing water through an inlet to a container filled with ammonia gas. [1] Ammonia dissolves into the water and the pressure in the container drops. As a result, more water is forced into the container from another inlet creating a fountain effect.

  5. Joule expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_expansion

    The Joule expansion (a subset of free expansion) is an irreversible process in thermodynamics in which a volume of gas is kept in one side of a thermally isolated container (via a small partition), with the other side of the container being evacuated. The partition between the two parts of the container is then opened, and the gas fills the ...

  6. Gas collecting tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_collecting_tube

    The mass density of a gas can be measured by using a gas collecting tube, an analytical balance and an aspirator. The mass and volume of a displaced amount of gas are determined: At atmospheric pressure p {\displaystyle p} , the gas collecting tube is filled with the gas to be investigated and the overall mass m f u l l {\displaystyle m_{full ...

  7. Pneumatic trough - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_trough

    Four items are required for gas collection with a pneumatic trough: [2] The trough itself, which is a large glass dish or a similar container. A gas bottle (or bulb), to hold the gas collected. A way to support the gas bottle or bulb, such as a beehive shelf or a hanger (as with Stephen Hales' design). A liquid in the trough.

  8. Rüchardt experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rüchardt_Experiment

    The Rüchardt experiment, [1] [2] [3] invented by Eduard Rüchardt, is a famous experiment in thermodynamics, which determines the ratio of the molar heat capacities of a gas, i.e. the ratio of (heat capacity at constant pressure) and (heat capacity at constant volume) and is denoted by (gamma, for ideal gas) or (kappa, isentropic exponent, for real gas).

  9. Reagent bottle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reagent_bottle

    The term "reagent" refers to a substance that is part of a chemical reaction (or an ingredient of which), and "media" is the plural form of "medium" which refers to the liquid or gas which a reaction happens within, or is a processing chemical tool such as (for example) a flux.
