Classic chemistry experiments: particles in motion?

No comments

Proove that gas particles are not static by generating carbon dioxide in the reaction calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid and performing the limewater test in the test tube that has been held over the reaction test tube

This experiment provides evidence that particles in a gas are in motion.
