READ THE SECTION called "3 Easy Gases"! Then, make some gas! Start with carbon dioxide and try the experiments. You'll be hooked! Then try oxygen and hydrogen. Suddenly you are a gas bird!
IN EACH CHAPTER, you will find detailed instructions for preparing a gas followed by a series of experiments that can be done with the gas. Many of these make great labs for high school and university students. All of the reactions can be used for classroom demonstrations!
AFTER YOU BECOME somewhat experienced with the general techniques, you will want to try some of the other gases described under the heading "All 17 Gases".

HERE IS A LIST of topics that is supported by one or more of the gas experiments. A lot more information is provided in the section "Gases in your Curriculum!".

acid rain • air pollution • catalysis • combustion • environmental issues • equilibrium
• Ideal gas law • intermolecular forces • kinetics
• limiting reagent • microexplosions • molar mass
• oxidation/reduction • precipitation • reaction stoichiometry • rocketry • solubility • and many more!
