Answer to Question 1

(a) The grease provides an air-tight seal and prevents the joints from becoming frozen
together.
(b) The indicating desiccant is expensive and just a little of it in the bulk ofanother desiccant
will tell you if the bulk desiccant is active or not.
(c) A powder will prevent the free flow of gas through the drying tube. This effectively closes
the reaction vessel to the atmosphere.



Answer to Question 2

The make of the GC, the column, the column temperature, and the flow rate of the carrier gas.
Detector and injector temperatures are also useful.
