Basic Gas Techniques
The In-Syringe Method is used for most of the gases that we can make. It's quick and easy! Gases are made right inside the syringe and are immediately ready for use! Use this method to make CO2, H2, O2, N2, C2H2, NH3, NO, NO2, SO2, Cl2, SiH4, and H2S.
The Thermal Method is used for a few important gases. Use this method to make C2H4, N2O, HCl, CO, and CH4.
Some of the gases made by the In-Syringe or Thermal methods can also be made in a microwave oven! These include NH3, O2, CO, SO2, CH4 and HCl.
Gases can be made in food storage bags. This is particularly handy for the teacher if a large amount of a gas is needed for a laboratory experiment.
