is carbon dioxide and or hydrogen in a clean empty test tube
If a test tube is clean and dry, then there should be nothing in it.
You can test for oxygen by placing a glowing splint (not lit but not out) into the test tube where you think oxygen is present. If the splint relights, that means that it is oxygen. If this doesn't happen, then in your case it will be nitrogen.
You stated that carbon dioxide and nitrogen are present, but you did not mention oxygen. Nothing burns without oxygen . . . If you expose limewater to carbon dioxide, it will get cloudy, but will not if you expose it to nitrogen.
The test for oxygen is to insert a glowing splint into a test tube and see if it glows brighter or re-ignites.
Use a sample of pyrogallol (C6H6O6) in the sample followed by a combustion reaction. This compound absorbs oxygen present.
Nitrogen dioxide and oxygen are released.
Im pretty sure its composed of elements that are nonmetals. taking a test recently said that they were not noble gasses.
Oxygen.... Thought it was Nitrogen, but ti's oxygen, got it wrong on test, right answer is oxygen.
No, in fact most early spacecraft the test animals, astronauts, or cosmonauts breathed pure oxygen. This was stopped after the Apollo-1 fire, which was attributed to defective wiring and a pure oxygen atmosphere. After that some nitrogen was added as a safety feature against fire.
The blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test measures the level of urea nitrogen in a sample of the patient's blood.
The speed of sound through nitrogen is about 354m/s, and the speed of sound through oxygen about 332m/s, so a mixture of both would be about, I guess,( 354m/s + 332m/s) ÷2 = 343m/s. This question was on my phsics test something like 3 years ago. Hope this helps on your test or whatever. :) (I just seriously hope you're not cheating! LOL)
