To test for hydrogen in the given substance, a dry sample is needed.

Burn it in excess of oxygen. If the vapour turns white copper sulfate into blue colour, it indicates that there is water in present in the vapour. Hence, the organic compound contains hydrogen.

How can I test for hydrogen carbon dioxide and oxide?

You can test for hydrogen by using a lighted splint, which will produce a "pop" sound when exposed to hydrogen. Carbon dioxide can be confirmed by passing it through limewater, which will turn cloudy. Oxides can be detected by performing a flame test, which will produce different colored flames depending on the type of oxide present.


What is the role of Copper oxide in the reaction in test for carbon and hydrogen?

Copper oxide acts as an oxidizing agent in the test for carbon and hydrogen. It can react with the carbon and hydrogen in the organic compound to form carbon dioxide and water, respectively. By observing the change in color of the copper oxide, we can determine the presence of carbon and hydrogen in the compound.


How can you check if bubbles are hydrogen or carbon dioxide?

well, to check you have to preform the pop test. the pop test is a test that you add fire to the container that the acid is in. if it pops its hydrogen but if it doesn't its carbon dioxide.

How would you test carbon dioxide to show that it was hydrogen?

Carbon dioxide form a milky suspension of calcium carbonate in calcium hydroxide; hydrogen doesn't react. But hydrogen react with oxygen when a flame exist.


How is hydrogen sulfide production detected?

It has a bad smell that can be detected by our nose, even in small concentrations.Also, people could try taking a sample of air that contains hydrogen sulfide, and let it pass through a solution of lead nitrate, if the gas contained hydrogen sulfide then the solution will become black due to the lead sulfide that was produced.
