A Foundation Course in Chemistry
A sample page from the book
The Kipps Apparatus depicted on this page should be familiar to all pupils who took chemistry at the school. Famously, it was used to generate hydrogen sulphide gas — that smells of rotten eggs! The waste gases were vented from the fume cupboard via a grill above the entrance to the main Trecynon school building in the upper playground. No doubt the teachers in Room 8 and 9 were only too aware of the presence of the apparatus!
