About This Product
Kipp's apparatus is used in physics and chemistry experiments to prepare a gas as it is needed. Dilute acid poured in through the thistle funnel at the top reacts with a metal sulphide in the base; the hydrogen sulphide gas formed collects in the middle dome and is let out through the stopcock. The capped outlet in the base is used to drain residue when cleaning.
