In the diagram above the gas Y could be

A.

hydrogen chloride

B.

oxygen

C.

carbon (IV) oxide

D.

chlorine

Correct answer is A

- Two gases that can be used in the study of fountain experiment is ammonia gas and hydrogen chloride gas.

- Ammonia dissolves into the water and the pressure in the container drops. As a result, more water is forced into the container from another inlet creating a fountain effect.

- All the hydrogen chloride in the flask dissolves in the water drops from the pipette, creating a vacuum in the flask. Water is then sucked up at great speed from the bowl, creating a spectacular 'fountain' in the flask.
