Preparation of the Data Collection System:

 

1. Start a new experiment on the data collection system.

 

2. Connect a stainless steel temperature sensor and a pressure sensor to the data collection system.

  

3. Place the barbed connector tightly into the rubber stopper. Connect the barbed connector to the pressure port of the sensor with a piece of tubing. 

 

4. Wrap the Erlenmyer flask with 10 to 15 rounds of electric tape. This is a preventative measure in case the flask cracks. The tape keeps the glass pieces together. 

 

5. Mount the 250-mL Erlenmyer flask in a water bath in a 1500-mL beaker. The water should cover as much of the flask as possible. 

 

6. Place the temperature sensor in the water bath.
