How do you express reaction between co2 and burning splint?
The reaction between carbon dioxide (CO2) and a burning splint is that the splint will extinguish. This is because CO2 is a non-flammable gas, which lacks oxygen to support combustion. When brought into contact with a burning splint, it displaces the oxygen and prevents the splint from continuing to burn.
