OXYGEN RELIGHTS A GLOWING SPLINT Oxygen.
Oxygen will rekindle or relight a glowing splint.
The chemical test for oxygen is the glowing splint test. In this test, a glowing splint is extinguished in the presence of oxygen due to its ability to support combustion. If the splint reignites, it indicates the absence of oxygen.
It rekindles (flames up) the glowing splint..
If a test tube is filled with oxygen when you put a glowing splint into it, the splint will relight. (To make the splint glow you have to light it then blow it out and put it into the test tube immediately.) Hope this helps. XD XD
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.
A glowing splint will reignite in the presence of oxygen due to the process of combustion. Oxygen feeds the combustion reaction, allowing the splint to continue burning.
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.
The glowing splint will ignite into a flame as oxygen supports combustion. This demonstrates that oxygen is a supporter of combustion.
More or less pure oxygen relights a glowing splint, while air oxygen (20%) will not do so.
To test for the presence of oxygen using a splint test, you first burn a splint until it smolders. Then, you blow out the flame and introduce the smoldering splint into the gas being tested. If oxygen is present, the splint will reignite due to the oxygen supporting combustion.
Take a test tube and put inside it a glowing splint. If the splint relights, the oxygen is present. If not, there is no oxygen.
