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

Does Carbon dioxide relight a glowing splint?

Helium is a group 8 element, and therefore a noble gas. It has no free electrons to bond to oxygen, therefore it won't oxidise or combust. So no, it won't. As a side note, you may hear of stars "burning" helium, but this Ian burning, its nuclear fission :)


What is a positive test for each of the following gases oxygen hydrogen carbon dioxide?

the positive test for oxygen is very simple. all that needs to happen is a vile must be filled 1/4 with hydrogen peroxide and a glowing splint must be inserted in t the vile . the splint will reignite after it is inserted int the vile.


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.


Is carbon dioxide an element or carbon?

Carbon is an element, but not carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a compound of carbon and oxygen.


In a solution of carbon dioxide in water a soft drink the carbon dioxide is the solute?

Yes, in a solution of carbon dioxide in water, the carbon dioxide gas is the solute and the water is the solvent. The carbon dioxide dissolves in the water to form a homogenous mixture, giving the drink its fizziness.

Why disentangle a Co2 extinguisher work for an A type fire?

Carbon dioxide drifts away, and the hot embers reignite.

Which gas is released during combustion?

The release of heat can result in the production of light in the form of either glowing or a flame.


How could a burning splint be used to tell if gas were oxygen or carbon dioxide?

A burning splint can be used to test for oxygen or carbon dioxide by observing the splint's reaction. If the splint is placed in a container with oxygen, it will reignite or burn more vigorously due to the increased availability of oxygen for combustion. In contrast, if the splint is placed in carbon dioxide, it will extinguish, as carbon dioxide does not support combustion. This simple test helps differentiate between the two gases based on their effects on a flame.


What is the consequences of incorrect use of carbon dioxide extinguisher?

it could possibly reignite after apparently being extinguished successfully.


What effect does carbon dioxide has on burning splint?

it goes out A glowing splint needs oxygen to basically keep glowing. It is a small fire in a way. When the glowing splint is added into an environment full of carbon dioxide, the splint goes out. Carbon dioxide in this case smothers the flame restricting the use of oxygen in combustion thus putting the flame out.


What gas is exhaled from the lungs?

carbon dioxide

How does carbon dioxide in the fire extinguisher cylinder work?

Carbon dioxide works by temporarily excluding oxygen from the fire. Good for class B fires, poor for class A fires because as soon as it dissipates, the hot material can reignite.


Is carbon dioxide an element or carbon?

Carbon is an element, but not carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a compound of carbon and oxygen.
