The stick used to light a Bunsen burner is called a splint however you have to light the splint with a match
Light a wooden splint and dip it in the gas. If it is Carbon Dioxide, it will put the fire on the end out.
It looks like a big popsicle stick
It rekindles (flames up) the glowing splint..
Oxygen will rekindle or relight a glowing splint.
If the wooden splint happened to be on fire when it was placed into the cylinder filled with carbon dioxide, the fire will go out. Other than that, nothing happens to the wooden splint. It will just sit there quietly, doing nothing.

A wooden splint that is used in an experiment is set on fire and held over a container of gas. The color of flame and amount of popping that the woodne splint does will tell you what type of gas is in the container. They test for different gaseous presences. Usually for oxygen, carbon dioxide or hydrogen.
A common way in the lab is to put a hot glowing wooden splint into the gas. If the splint flares into flames, the gas is most likely oxygen. But if it is in water this does not work.
A burning wooden splint has a visible flame at its burning end while a glowing wooden splint has glowing ember at its glowing end. Placing a glowing splint in a container with oxygen will cause it to burst into flames and become a burning splint.
OXYGEN RELIGHTS A GLOWING SPLINT Oxygen.
Light a wooden splint and dip it in the gas. If it is Carbon Dioxide, it will put the fire on the end out.
A wooden splint should not be soft or flexible or it is not going to work.
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.
test it with burining wooden splint
because you light the splint and if there is a squeaky pop noise there is hydrogen gas in the air
A common lab procedure taught in my chemistry classes in grammar school was to perform a "splint" test. To test for the presence of oxygen, you would light the end of a wooden splint and reduce the flame to the point that the end of the splint is simply glowing red but not burning. Insert the glowing end into the unknown gas's container and observe what happens. If the flame returns, the gas is oxygen. by Ronan Lavery
