Gas Phase Reactions

Chemtastic - 22-6-2004 at 20:32

Has anyone developed an efficient way for controlling gas-phase reactions, isolating the reaction as it proceeds?

For example:
2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
H2 + Cl2 --> 2HCl
2NH3 --> 3H2 + 2N2
2Cs(g) + F2(g) --> 2CsF (g):o

I'm open to any suggestions...

A glass tube heated with a bunsen burner works quite well for most reactions.
If I thought that you could get hold of Cs and F2 I would put a bit more effort into wondering about the last reaction.
