What happens to a glowing splint when it is lowered into a jar full of oxygen?
It rekindles (flames up) the glowing splint..
Oxygen gas will what a glowing splint?
Oxygen will rekindle or relight a glowing splint.
How do you test oxygen using a splint test?
Place a glowing splint into the test tube. If the glowing splint relights, then oxygen is present, otherwise oxygen is not present.
Why does air not relight a glowing splint?
A glowing splint exposed to pure oxygen will burst into flames because the process of combustion will be greatly accelerated. The glowing splint exists in a normal atmosphere comprised of approximately 20% oxygen. Think of the effect of fanning over glowing embers in order to restart a fire. You are 'pushing' more oxygen over the embers. Exposing a glowing splint to 100% oxygen has an even greater effect.
What does your observation with the glowing splint indicate about the nature and reactivate oxygen?
Oxygen help the burning.

Describe what happens in a positive test for oxygen gas?
You need to try and relight a glowing splint. If it does relight, then there is oxygen gas.
What gas re lights a glowing splint?
OXYGEN RELIGHTS A GLOWING SPLINT Oxygen.
Oxygen gas will what a glowing splint?
Oxygen will rekindle or relight a glowing splint.
What is the standard test for oxygen?
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

What is the difference between a burning wooden splint and a glowing wooden splint?
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.
What is relights glowing splint?
Oxygen can be used to relight a glowing splint, which is why if you blow on a fire, it temporarily increases in size.
Which gas will re light a glowing splint?
More or less pure oxygen relights a glowing splint, while air oxygen (20%) will not do so.

Why splint test for carbon dioxide is not good?
The splint test is to test for the presence of oxygen. You light a small piece of wood (the splint), then blow it out. The end of the wood will still glow. If you put the glowing splint into a test tube with oxygen, it will relight. It you put the glowing splint into a test tube with carbon dioxide, it will stop glowing. A better test for carbon dioxide is to bubble it through a solution of limewater.
