    The solvents and reagents that are used can use a technique called "sparging" to remove air. This is where a cannula needle, which is connected to the inert gas on the line, is inserted into the reaction vessel containing the solvent; this effectively bubbles the inert gas into the solution, which will actively push out trapped gas molecules ...
