Hello everyone its me again, translating for tmdrak. He has more questions, and here they are. Hey friends, I have a question. How would you store gases? Glass Tubes? If so how would you mix them without letting the go into the air. And I learned in class that if you want to combine gases you need to light it or something..how is this done? My main question is how would you combine gases and light them without letting them escape... thanks

mixing gases... i used to see alot of diagrams involving two stoppered tubes on top of each other, than the cover was taken out, to show the diffusion of gases.

i've seen a diagram before that involved a sealed container with a gas syringe inside, while using a bulb inside the container to heat the contents of the gas syringe.

i assume by "light" u mean heating with oxygen..?

He says he learned in class, that molecules can't be made unless they are sparked or something, thats what he means by light.

chemical reaction has an activation energy barrier. one has to provide energy to overcome this barrier, either by UV rays, heat or pass an electric spark through the reaction chamber.
