Beehive Shelf
Key features:
-
Design: A hollow, disc-shaped structure with a central hole or side opening.
-
Material: Usually made of ceramic or durable plastic to resist water and chemical exposure.
-
Function: Supports a gas delivery tube and directs gas into an inverted gas jar placed above it in a water trough.
-
Use: Commonly used in experiments to collect gases like hydrogen, oxygen, or carbon dioxide by water displacement.
The beehive shelf helps ensure that gas from the reaction is efficiently channeled into the gas jar without escaping, making it a key tool in gas collection setups.
