In a lab experiment we put some MgSO4 7H2O into a crucible, and brought it to a high temperature using a Bunsen burner. After 10 minutes of heating we massed out the crucible and contents to determine the % of H2O.
Okay, I had no problem with this, and my question is this. I wish to take this experiment a step further and actually capture the H2O gas into another container so I can mass out the H2O.
I can picture a setup being similar to stated above except I would need a sealed crucible with a gas port, and another sealed container to receive the gas. My problem is that I do not know what apparatus I would use that would have the same heat resistant properties of a crucible, have a sealed lid, and also have a gas port. Does anyone know what such a apparatus would be called?
Thanks
