Apparatus for Cooking Hydrocarbons
Product Code : SCL-CL-11453
Apparatus for Cooking Hydrocarbons (SKU SCL-CL-11453) is a three-piece glass set for preparing gaseous hydrocarbons in the laboratory, "cooking" here meaning preparing. A liquid reagent is dripped from a separatory funnel onto the reactant in a round bottom flask, and the gas leaves through a delivery tube for collection and testing. Organic chemistry departments in schools, colleges and training institutes, together with distributors and tender contractors, can source it through Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India.
Specifications
The hydrocarbon set's three glass parts each have rows in the table below. In short, a 250 ml round bottom (spherical) flask serves as the reaction vessel, a 60 ml separatory funnel controls how fast the liquid reagent is added, and a gas delivery tube leads the hydrocarbon gas out of the flask.

Applications and Experiments for the Hydrocarbon Preparation Apparatus
The apparatus is used where a gas is made by adding a liquid to a solid or another liquid at a controlled rate. A common school example is ethyne (acetylene) from calcium carbide and water; the gas is then tested for combustion and for unsaturation with bromine water or potassium permanganate.
- Class 11 chemistry (hydrocarbons): laboratory preparation and tests of alkynes and alkenes, with gas samples taken in an 18 x 180 mm Test Piece tube.
- NCERT Class 10 science: carbon compounds, combustion and saturated versus unsaturated compounds.
- B.Sc. organic chemistry: controlled addition of reagents with a separatory funnel, the flask clamped on a Laboratory Stand.
Hydrocarbon gases are flammable and ethyne forms explosive mixtures with air. Make only small quantities, keep flames away from the collecting vessels and run the preparation under teacher supervision in a ventilated room.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set includes a 250 ml round bottom flask, a 60 ml separatory funnel and a gas delivery tube. Stoppers, stands and clamps, collecting vessels and chemicals are not included; Rubber Stoppers of Various Diameters with Holes and other parts can be added to the quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "cooking hydrocarbons" mean?
It means preparing hydrocarbon gases in the laboratory. The set generates a gas such as ethyne in the flask and passes it out through the delivery tube for collection and testing.
Why does the set use a separatory funnel?
The 60 ml separatory funnel has a tap, so the liquid reagent can be added drop by drop. This keeps the rate of gas production under control and avoids a sudden rush of gas.
Who supplies the Apparatus for Cooking Hydrocarbons?
The supplier is Science Lab Supplies, operating from Ambala, India. It handles direct orders from schools and colleges and prepares quantity quotations for distributors and tender contractors.
How is the gas collected?
Gases such as ethyne can be collected over water in gas jars or test tubes. Collecting vessels are not part of this set, but suitable glassware can be quoted alongside it.
