WHAT DOES PNEUMATIC TROUGH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

pneumatic trough

Pneumatic trough

A pneumatic trough is a piece of laboratory apparatus used for collecting gases, such as hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Pneumatic troughs require a liquid such as water. Scientists also have used mercury in pneumatic troughs, but usually only for the collection of water-soluble gases. Health-and-safety issues surrounding mercury generally prohibit its use in modern-day pneumatic troughs. Four items are required for gas collection with a pneumatic trough: ▪ The trough itself, which is a large glass dish or a similar container ▪ A gas bottle, to hold the gas collected ▪ A way to support the gas bottle or bulb, such as a Beehive shelf or a hanger ▪ A liquid in the trough The bottle is filled with water, inverted, and placed into the pneumatic trough already containing water. The outlet tube from the gas-generating apparatus is inserted into the opening of the bottle so that gas can bubble up through it, displacing the water within.

Definition of pneumatic trough in the English dictionary

The definition of pneumatic trough in the dictionary is a shallow dishlike vessel filled with a liquid, usually water, and used in collecting gases by displacement of liquid from a filled jar held with its open end under the surface of the liquid.
