Hydrogen test - commonly know as the pop test
Basically you collect the gas in a test tube. Light a splint on fire and put it in the test tube with the gas, if you hear a "pop" sound and the splint goes out then the gas should be Hydrogen
Oxygen test
Collect the gas in a test tube, light a splint, but blow it out so that it is glowing. Then put it in the test tube with the gas, if the splint relights then the gas should be oxygen
Hope that helps :)

∙ 15y agoYou got your terminology mixed up. Under normal temperature and pressure oxygen is a gas.
* if you are testing an unknown substance put a glowing splint in to the beaker and if it re-ignites oxygen will be present.

Take a lighted splint towards the mouth of a test tube if the lighted splint relights than its an oxygen gas,if not then its not oxygen gas.Other tests should be applied in that case.

∙ 8y agoCould you be more specific as to the gas you wish to test for:
- natural gas
- carbon monoxide
- carbon dioxide
- hydrogen
- oxygen
- nitrogen
- sulfur dioxide
- ethylene
- ethane
- propane
- butane
- helium
- xenon
- radon
- gasoline
- etc.?

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 does the glowing split test suggest about the identity of the gas evolved in manganese oxide?
It means the gas produced is oxygen.
How will you test the gas collected in electrolysis of water?
pop test for hydrogen at -ve electrode glowing splint test for oxygen at +ve electrode
How to test for oxygen?
A common way in the lab is to put a hot glowing wooden splint into the gas. If the splint flares into flames, the gas is most likely oxygen. But if it is in water this does not work.
When you test for hydrogen gas another gas is involved as a reactant?
Please phrase all of your questions in complete sentences. Thank you.
What test can prove that pond weed produces oxygen gas?
Bubble measurement is a test which can prove that pond weed produces oxygen gas. Pond weed releases oxygen and takes in carbon dioxide during the process of photosynthesis. The experimenter will find the outward-moving bubbles containing oxygen with which to oxygenate the plant in question's surrounding water.
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 happens in a positive test for oxygen gas?
A glowing splint will burst into flame/smoke in pure oxygen (using a test tube).
What gas can reignite a blown out match in a test tube?
Oxygen
What gas is formed in a test tube with the green water plan?
Oxygen
What is the word equation for the oxygen gas test?

How do you test a test tube containing a colourless odourless gas whether it's hydrogen or oxygen?
You Do Stuff!
Where YOU would find oxygen gas?
in the air
What is a reliable test to see if a gas is oxygen?
Set up a fire in the same box as the gas and see if the fire burns well. If it burns well, it is oxygen.
What does the glowing split test suggest about the identity of the gas evolved in manganese oxide?
It means the gas produced is oxygen.
What test could you use to find out if oxygen gas is present?
You could use spectroscopy as a definite method, or you could use an oxidizing agent that reacts with O2 (Oxygen), such as Iron, Nitric Acid, or halogen compounds.
How will you test the gas collected in electrolysis of water?
pop test for hydrogen at -ve electrode glowing splint test for oxygen at +ve electrode
