I'm a bit stuck on the planning section of this paper.. not sure about how the apparatus would be set up. I think the last time I did this I was in year 11! =/ Could anyone link me to an explanation/diagram of a similar experiement please?

Thanks again,

OK - besides the fact that this is almost me cheating you, the gas collected needs to into a container and no gas must be able to escape ... think about it .... photosynthesis experiments ... oxygen emitted ...

Yup, a gas syringe or a beehive thing.
I'd just like to find a neat little explanation of the experiment so I won't forget to mention anything if something similar comes up tomorrow. :frown:
