A-Level chemistry Energetics HELP

Hi,

An equation for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is

2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2

The rate of reaction can be determined by collecting the oxygen formed and measuring its volume at regular intervals.

Draw a diagram to show the apparatus that you would use to collect and measure the volume of the oxygen formed [2 marks]

Could anyone provide a visual aid as to what i'm supposed to draw?

Oxygen is a gas, so surely you would have your reactants in a conical flask with a delivery tube feeding into something like a gas syringe (easier option) or an inverted measuring cylinder in a water bath (harder option)
