The fire will be extinguished.

The better test for identifying carbon dioxide is to bubble the gas into lime water. Limewater will go cloudy because of chalk/limestone precipitation.

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.


What puts out a lighted splint and turns lime water milky?

Carbon dioxide gas extinguishes a lighted splint by cutting off the oxygen supply needed for combustion. When carbon dioxide is bubbled through lime water, it forms calcium carbonate, which causes the lime water to turn milky.


Would a glowing splint placed into carbon dioxide gas glow more brightly or reignite?

Neither, because it dies out. See the answer to the question "what happens to a glowing splint....."


What happens to a wooden splint in gas cylinder filled with carbon dioxide?

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.


What are the tests for carbon dioxide and hydrogen?

Carbon dioxide1. Turns lime water (calcium hydroxide) milky2. A lit splint introduced to a test tube containing carbon dioxide should go outHydrogenA lit splint introduced to a test tube of hydrogen should go out with a distinct "pop"


How can you tell if a chemical is carbon dioxide by using a splint?


What gases will extinguish a burning splint?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen gas (N2) can extinguish a burning splint. These gases displace the oxygen in the air, which is necessary for combustion, and therefore extinguish the flame.


Which gas is in the bubbles. how can you prove this?

Carbon Dioxide. You can prove it by collecting some of the gas in a test tube (the gas is heavier than air). Drop a lighted splint into the test tube, and the flame will be extinguished.


Does copper sulphate out a lighted splint?

Copper sulfate does not extinguish a lighted splint. When a lighted splint is exposed to copper sulfate, the flame may change color due to the presence of copper ions, but the splint will continue to burn as long as there is sufficient oxygen available for the combustion reaction to occur.


Will a burning spilint go out in carbon dioxide gas?

Yes, a burning splint will go out in carbon dioxide gas because carbon dioxide does not support combustion. When the concentration of oxygen is low, the splint will not have enough oxygen to sustain combustion and will be extinguished.


Will a burning splint go out in carbon dioxide gas?

Yes.
