Hydrogen selenide can be prepared by the reaction of aluminium selenide with water, the other product being solid aluminium hydroxide, Al(OH)3. At STP hydrogen selenide gas has a density of 3.61g litre -1.

Draw a diagram of how to prepare a jar of dry hydrogen selenide, from the reaction between aluminium selenide with water using only a selection of the following equipment and materials. You should assume that the equipment may be clamped in any position. Include a brief description of how the arrangement achieves the desired result.

Liquids Solids
Concentrated hydrochloric acid Calcium chloride granules
Concentrated nitric acid Sodium chloride
Water Aluminium selenide
Sodium hydroxide
