Gas collection from electrolysis
Gas collection from electrolysis
(OP)
I am electrolysing a solution at the moment and want to measure the volume of hydrogen gas produced. My hydrogen sensor shows that hydrogen is being produced in sufficent quantities, but when I try to bubble this gas (via a plastic tube) through water and measure the volume in a measuring cylinder, no bubbles appear in the solution. Instead the solution in the tube surrounding the electrode is displaced by the gas. Can anyone tell me a way to overcome this? I've attached a diagram of my experimental setup.

Here is the picture of a single stage one and if applicable can easily be made in the lab or purchased.

Bubbleometer is a good device, but won't help keep his electrode flooded.

Note that the specific gravity of the electrolyte will have an effect, but, generally, they electrlyte will be heavier than the water.
