What is the test for oxygen and the result if oxygen is present?

If a test tube is filled with oxygen when you put a glowing splint into it, the splint will relight. (To make the splint glow you have to light it then blow it out and put it into the test tube immediately.) Hope this helps. XD XD


Why splint test for carbon dioxide is not good?

The splint test is to test for the presence of oxygen. You light a small piece of wood (the splint), then blow it out. The end of the wood will still glow. If you put the glowing splint into a test tube with oxygen, it will relight. It you put the glowing splint into a test tube with carbon dioxide, it will stop glowing. A better test for carbon dioxide is to bubble it through a solution of limewater.

How can you test a gas to find out if it's oxygen?

Hydrogen test - commonly know as the pop test Basically you collect the gas in a test tube. Light a splint on fire and put it in the test tube with the gas, if you hear a "pop" sound and the splint goes out then the gas should be Hydrogen Oxygen test Collect the gas in a test tube, light a splint, but blow it out so that it is glowing. Then put it in the test tube with the gas, if the splint relights then the gas should be oxygen Hope that helps :)
