Description:

Insert description of apparatus, its component, what it is demonstrating.

Setup:

1. Install the burner gas tube with the gas source.
2. Make sure that you have the gas switch off and in the right pressure that you want before you turn it on.
3. Make sure that the conductometer has been assembled if not, do the following.
   • - Place the bottom disk, which has the threaded center hole, on a flat surface with the groove face upward. - Fit the brass and iron wire into the center grooves of the bottom disk, having approximately 3 inches of wire extending beyond end of the plate. - Hold the two wires in place by pressing with one's fingers on the wires on each side of the disk. Locate the upper disk on top of the bottom disk, seeing that the grooves match. Thread the screw into disks partly so as to hold the wires in position and still allow space to slide the short wires into the outer grooves. - Slide the aluminum wire into the grooves near the brass wire, loosening screw slightly if necessary. Repeat with copper wire locating it in grooves nearest iron wire. - The disk may be located by sliding along the center wires so that the wire ends are approximately the same distance from the disk periphery. A length of about 3 inches will suffice. Tighten center screw after checking that each wire is located correctly in its respective groove.
