The purpose of this experiment is to discover the physical and chemical properties of the studied gases. In discovering these properties it allows the student or observer the ability to identify these gases when they come into contact with them. Procedure Before I began the procedure I gathered all my supplies from the given list in the manual. From there I began the actual experiment and diluted the HCL placed in a test tube and then placed the ZN in the tube as well. I placed the stopper
