An Automatic System for the Study of Catalytic Reactions Involving Gases Available to Purchase

A automatic system, employing a metal bellows, was designed and constructed for the purpose of studying the catalytic combination of hydrogen and oxygen on a submerged catalyst in a stirred solution. The reaction was carried out under conditions of constant temperature, pressure, and volume. This system can be used to study the reaction for unlimited lengths of time; it is completely automatic, and can be used to study reaction rates quantitatively. It can be modified for the study of other reactions.
