Question

Observe: click reset. select the gas collection setup. chemists use this apparatus to collect any gases produced in the reaction. from the reaction flask, gases travel through a long tube and into a cylinder of water. as gases bubble into the cylinder, the water is displaced (removed) until the cylinder is filled with gas. click play and observe the cylinder. was any gas produced in the reaction? [ ]

Answer 1

Hello. Although it is not possible to see the video to which the question refers, we can see, in the question, that water is removed from the cylinder as a gas is added to the same cylinder. So we can see that a gas was produced in the reaction, through the displacement of water, that is, if the water starts to be removed from the cylinder, it is because the reaction is producing a gas. If the gas is not produced, water will not come out of the cylinder.
