توضیح
The method used to collect a gas depends on whether it is denser or lighter than air. For example, ammonia gas is collected by downward displacement of air because it is lighter than air. Option C is the correct answer.
Chlorine is heavier than air.
SO\(_2\) is denser than air.
CO\(_2\) is denser than air.
