The Kipps apparatus operates on a self-regulating principle. The apparatus has three sections: top (acid reservoir with thistle funnel), middle (gas collection dome), and bottom (reaction chamber with metal sulfide). When the stopcock is opened, gas escapes, pressure drops, and acid from the top flows down to contact the metal sulfide in the bottom, generating more gas. When the stopcock is closed, gas pressure builds and pushes the acid back up, stopping the reaction. This provides gas on demand without continuous monitoring.
This Kipps apparatus is primarily designed for generating hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas for qualitative inorganic analysis. H2S is used to precipitate metal ions as sulfides, allowing their separation and identification in classic qualitative analysis schemes. The apparatus can also be used to generate small quantities of other gases with appropriate reactants, following proper safety protocols.
For H2S generation, the typical reactants are dilute hydrochloric acid or dilute sulfuric acid and ferrous sulfide (FeS) lumps. The acid reacts with the metal sulfide to produce H2S gas. Always use appropriate concentrations and follow proper safety procedures when handling acids and generating toxic gases like H2S.
This Kipps apparatus is available in three sizes: 250 ml (Code 55501), 500 ml (Code 55502), and 1000 ml (Code 55503). The size indicates the approximate capacity and scale of gas generation. Choose based on your typical gas volume requirements and frequency of use.
Polypropylene offers several significant advantages over traditional glass: it is virtually unbreakable, eliminating safety hazards from broken glass; it is significantly lighter, making handling easier; it has excellent chemical resistance to dilute acids; and it is easier to clean. These features make the polypropylene version ideal for teaching labs and busy analytical facilities.
Cleaning is straightforward: 1) Ensure all gas is vented in a fume hood, 2) Disassemble the apparatus by separating the three sections, 3) Remove spent metal sulfide through the base residual outlet, 4) Wash all components with warm water and mild laboratory detergent, 5) Rinse thoroughly with distilled water, 6) Allow to air dry completely before reassembly. Always follow safety protocols for handling sulfide residues.
The stopcock is an integral part of the apparatus assembly. If the stopcock becomes damaged or worn, please contact Polylab customer service for replacement part availability. The PTFE plug is designed for long life and self-lubricating operation, minimizing maintenance needs.
Always use the Kipps apparatus in a properly functioning fume hood, as H2S is toxic and has a strong odor. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, safety goggles, lab coat). Ensure the apparatus is assembled correctly before adding reactants. Never open the apparatus while gas is being generated. Follow all institutional safety protocols for working with hazardous gases and chemicals.
While primarily designed for H2S generation, the apparatus can be used to generate small quantities of other gases by choosing appropriate reactants. For example, carbon dioxide can be generated using marble chips and dilute acid. However, always verify chemical compatibility with polypropylene and ensure proper safety protocols for the specific gas being generated.
Each Kipps apparatus is supplied individually, with one piece per pack for all three sizes (55501, 55502, and 55503). This allows you to order exactly the size and quantity needed for your laboratory.
