Each gas has a different way of testing if it's present, for example if you put a glowing splint in oxygen, the splint should re-light, however if you put the splint in carbon dioxide, it should go out. If you put the splint in hydrogen, you should hear a squeaky pop. To test for chlorine, use a damp blue or red pH paper and put it into the gas, the gas should turn white. Another test for carbon dioxide is lime water. if you put CO2 in lime water, the water should go cloudy.

∙ 12y agoThe usual quick-and-dirty check is the "splint test": inserting a burning wooden splint into a tube of hydrogen will produce an audible "pop".
If you really want to be sure, you could use spectroscopy or mass spectrometry.

How do you write the formulae for hydrogen gas oxygen gas?
Hydrogen gas is H2. Oxygen gas is O2.
What is the noble gas configuration of hydrogen?
There is no noble gas configuration for hydrogen.
Can anyone suggest a test for hydrogen gas other than burning splint?
Fill a balloon with the gas and see if it is lighter than air (only Helium and Hydrogen will make a balloon float...) Calculate the density of the gas (mass/volume)
How many hydrogen atoms are in 45.0 grams of hydrogen gas?
45,0 grams of hydrogen gas have 135,5.10e23 atoms.
Why the hydrogen gas collected from the reaction of the metal with acid is referred to as wet hydrogen gas?
It is called wet hydrogen gas because it is collected over water.
How do you check the hydrogen gas purity?
hydrogen purity
Is Hydrogen gas blue?
hydrogen gas is blue although you cant see it until it is mixed with an acid
How would you test the gas to see if it was hydrogen?
You put the gas in a tube and then put a lit wooden stick in it, if it pops it's hydrogen
What is hydrogen and hydrogen gas?
hydrogen and hydrogen gas are same hydrogen is gas
If gas is hydrogen what would you see?
Nothig to see ! Hydrogen is colorlees, odorless, with no taste. Also the flame is not very visible.
How you check if bubbles of a gas are hydrogen or carbon dioxide?
Collect the gas bubbles and try to ignite the gas. If it burns with a pop, it's hydrogen. If it puts the flame out it's carbon dioxide.
How do you check that it's a hydrogen gas?
if an experiment is done in a test tube and hydrogen gas is given off if a lit splint is placed inside the test tube there will be a pop.
What does the hydrogen gas look like?
It is transparent and colorless, you can't see it.
How would you test to see if a gas is hydrogen?
it will burn with a pop noise
Zinc and hydrogen chloride react to produce?
When zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid it produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.
A slogan for hydrogen?
An inert gas, and lightest of all the elements...uumm...a good slogan would be... " Don't drive with just any normal gas, drive with Hydrogen, you wont regret it".
What happens to the magnesium atoms when you mix it with dilute hydrochloric acid?
Let's see. Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2 You produce a salt, magnesium chloride, and hydrogen gas ( should see the hydrogen gas effusing ) from this reaction.
