The experimental arrangement. A 5 ml vial containing a magnetic stirrer is filled with water equilibrated with a test gas and placed in a water bath on a magnetic stirrer (not shown). The septum in the cap is punctured by a needle connected to a polyethylene tube holding a horizontal methanol column, dyed blue for convenience. When an air bubble is injected through the septum the change in volume of the bubble is measured by marking at frequent intervals the position of the meniscus (enlarged inset) as water is displaced into the tubing.
