What would the reaction be if you mixed sulfuric acid and magnesium using a flaming splint?

Probably an explosion. Sulphuric acid and magnesium would produce magnesium sulphate and hydrogen gas. The latter would react with the flame to produce water by combining with atmospheric oxygen. The original reaction may well be endothermic and be self combusting so don't try this at home or without safety procedures in a lab.

What is indicated when a flaming splint causes a pop?
This means that in the chemical reaction that occured, hydrogen (H2) gas was produced. The splint will make the popping noise because literally there is a small explosion occuring, and water vapor will form.
What is flaming splint test?
This is when a flaming piece of wood (splint) is burning. it can be used to determine whether a gas is oxygen, hydrogen, or carbin dioxide. probabaly more but that's all i know.
What happens when you combine magnesium dioxide and a burning wood splint in a gas generating bottle?
POP!
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.
How do you do you test for hydrogen?
Put magnesium and hydrochloric acid in a test tube.When you see fizzing in the test tube this means there is a chemical reaction!Light a splint and hold it in the test tube.If hydrogen is there the splint will make a squeaky pop! and if you put the gas in lime water it will turn milky white

Can you identify carbon dioxide or hydogen gases in a chemical reaction by their color or odor if not what else can we do?
carbon dioxide will extinguish a flaming splint, hydrogen will burn rapidly

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.
How do you know if a gas is hydrogen or oxygen?
Lots of ways. Density and spectroscopy come to mind, but if you're just looking for a quick test of a small quantity and you don't mind using it up in the process: A smoldering (not flaming) wooden splint inserted in a test tube of oxygen will flare into life. A flaming splint inserted in a test tube of hydrogen will cause a small "pop" (and probably blow the splint out) as the hydrogen combusts.

What happens when a lighted splint is put unto a glass jar of helium?
The glow of the splint is extinguished, because helium can not support the combustion reaction with oxygen from the atmosphere that produces the glow.
What simple test might be undertaken to check if a chemical reaction produces oxygen?
glowing splint ... if it relights then the chemical reaction produces oxygen.
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 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.
