Gas Jar with Lid
Gas Jar with Lid is a durable, chemically resistant container designed for the collection, storage, and measurement of gases in laboratory settings. Typically made from high-quality borosilicate glass or plastic, the gas jar comes with a tight-fitting lid—often equipped with ports or holes—to ensure an airtight seal and facilitate gas transfer or measurement. This apparatus is essential for conducting gas collection experiments safely and accurately, preventing contamination and gas loss. Widely used in educational, research, and industrial laboratories, gas jars with lids enable efficient handling of gases such as oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and other experimental gases.
Uses
Primary Uses
Laboratory Gas Collection and Experiments
- Collecting gases generated from chemical reactions such as oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide.
- Storing gases temporarily for further analysis or reaction.
- Facilitating experiments involving gas volume and pressure measurement.
- Enabling controlled gas transfer through ports in the lid without gas loss.
- Used in gas displacement methods to measure gas volumes accurately.
Secondary Uses
Educational and Research Applications
- Demonstration of gas properties and reactions in schools and universities.
- Research experiments requiring safe containment of reactive or hazardous gases.
- Assisting in environmental monitoring by collecting gas samples for analysis.
- Supporting small-scale synthesis requiring controlled gas atmospheres.
