The test-tube isfitted with a two-holed stopper, in the second hole of whicha glass elbow is inserted. On heating the flask, hydriodicacid gas is liberated, mixed with considerable quantities offree iodine and an oily liquid, which condenses in the test-tube. To purify the issuing gas it should first be conducted 120 CHEMICAL LECTURE EXPERIMENTS through a U-tube filled with red phosphorus, and thenthrough a calcium chloride tube. This method gives a very.

By dissolving the gas in water. — A very simplemethod of obviating the difficulties attend-ing the absorption of this gas in water isthat of conducting the gas through thestem of an inverted funnel, the mouth ofwhich is thrust a few millimeters underthe surface of the water in a crystallizingdish. If back suction occurs, air will bedrawn under the edge of the funnel beforethe water has risen in the cone of thefunnel as far as the 00 The funnel may be replaced by a retort.
