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.


What is a splint in Chemistry?

A splint is a flat piece of a soft wood, about 15 cm long and a few mm wide and about one mm thick. It's used in the UK to show the presence of oxygen from a chemical reaction. The splint is first lit and it burns bright in oxygen.


How do you test for carbon dioxide with a splint?

collect gas from reaction with a test tube, then light spint and insert into the gas filled tube. if splint is extinguished immediately, then its CO2. but limewater test is more reliable


What happens when you put a lit splint into a test tube filled with hydrogen?

The lit splint will go out because of the absence of oxygen


Is heating a wood splint a chemical or physical change?

Heating a wood splint is a chemical change. If this was done in something like a test tube, you will see many things occur that indicate this. First, you will see a werid kind of smoke, the splint turning into black stuff, and a really bad smell. Well the smoke is CO2 and the black stuff is ash from the burning. Because there is a new substance being made and the identity of the original substance(your splint) has changed, the reaction is chemical.

Reaction for heated CuCO3 and a wooden splint?

The CuCO3 produces CO2 when it is heated, so the wooden splint will go out since the carbon dioxide would inhibit the oxygen from allowing the splint to stay lit.


What happens to a lit splint when it is in air?

It doesn't do anything.

How would you test H2?

This question doesn't really mean anything without context. If you were trying to identify the gas produced from a chemical combination, then Hydrogen gas makes a lit splint POP and go out. This is the lit flame test. This is relative to CO2 that will actually suppress flame


What happens when a lit splint is put into hydrogen?

It explodes, making a "squeaky pop."


How to test for hydrogen?

Simple enough. get the container of hydrogen and a lit splint (a match will do). open the container and put the match/splint over the opening. If there is a pop noise, it is hydrogen.

Why does a mixture of vinegar and baking soda blow out a burning splint?

The CO2 evolved from the reaction extinguishes the flame.


How do you test for evolution of hydrogen gas?

place a lit splint into a test tube if you hear a squeaky pop sound it is hydrogen.
