Lesson: Chapter 16 — Changes of Matter

16.5. Carbon dioxide 3 of 8

Question 3

Since carbon dioxide is denser than air, which collection method can be used for it?

The right answer is the one marked above.

Upward displacement of air. The gas travels to the bottom of the jar and pushes the air up and out — so the jar is held the right way up.

Downward displacement of air is for light gases like hydrogen. CO2 can also be collected by downward displacement of water.
