Carbon dioxide gas is transparent and under normal conditions you do not see it. However, it does form visible bubbles in Carbonated Beverages. If you put frozen carbon dioxide ("dry ice") in water, the carbon dioxide that bubbles out of the water will look like fog, because it is very cold and causes moisture in the air to condense. But the fog will dissipate and the carbon dioxide will again become invisible.

a flame will not stay burning if it is CO2, although there are a lot of other gases that will extinguish a flame in the same way.

If the gas is carbon dioxide, you would see nothing. This is because the carbon dioxide gas has no color.

Carbon dioxide absorbed in water form carbonic acid; the pH of th solution is increased - this change can be evaluated with a pH paper.

It would go cloudy. Unless it become completely saturated with Carbon Dioxide, in which case it would become clear again.

How would you test a sample of gas to see if it contained carbon dioxide?

take the gas atach it to the flask with limewater....if carbon dioxide is present then it will turn cloudy...thats the answer for test of carbon dioxide i think the answer your looking for is bromthymol blue


Test for carbon dioxide?

Testing for carbon dioxide step wise:- 1.Invert a test tube so that the open end is facing down. 2.Release the gas you want to test from its container into the test tube. Keep the test tube inverted so that the gas does not escape. 3.Light a splint with matches or a lighter. Place the lit end of the splint in the test tube. The splint will immediately extinguish if carbon dioxide is present in the gas. 4.Place moist blue litmus paper in the test tube. The litmus paper will turn red if carbon dioxide is present in the gas. 5.Place moist universal indicator paper in the test tube. The universal indicator paper will turn orange if carbon dioxide is present in the gas.


Why do bubbles come out when you mix carbon dioxide and limewater?

Whenever there is a gas present you will see bubbles the limewater test is to see if there is carbon dioxide present


Carbon dioxide and lime water?

CaCO3 (s) + H2O(l) CaCO3 is a white solid that appears cloudy in solution Limewater is also used in the chemical test for carbon dioxide. The chemical test is if carbon dioxide is mixed with limewater it then clouds. If this happens then the gas will be carbon dioxide.

What is the test to show that a test-tube of gas contains carbon dioxide?

I'm not sure if it's an official test, but you could take a lit match and put it in the test tube (keeping the test tube right side up). If the test tube does contain carbon dioxide the match would be smothered since the carbon dioxide prevents oxygen from reaching the match.

Which test used to identify CO2?

Use two chemical test. the first place a burning strip of magnesium metal into the suspect gas if in burns bright white and produces a black soot, this indicts carbon dioxide gas. The second test would be to bubble the suspect gas through a solution of calcium hydroxide if the solution turns white and milky, carbon dioxide is indicted.
