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.

When ammonium carbonate decomposes would a glowing spling burn brighter in the presence of the gases that are evolved?

When ammonium carbonate decomposes, it releases gases like ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. If a glowing splint is introduced into these gases, the presence of ammonia may enhance the combustion reaction, causing the splint to burn brighter momentarily due to the oxygen in the ammonia supporting combustion. However, this effect may be brief as the concentration of ammonia decreases and the combustion reverts back to its normal intensity.


What are the tests of hydrogen and carbon dioxide?

Carbon and hydrogen are detected qualitatively by heating a mixture of the given substance with dry copper (II) oxide in a glass tube. The organic substance is oxidize and carbon dioxide and water are formed. The presence of carbon dioxide is indicated by the formation of a white precipitate of calcium carbonate, when the gaseous products are passed through a solution of lime water. The presence of hydrogen is indicated by the formation of droplets of water in the tube.


Test for carbon dioxide?

To test for carbon dioxide, you can bubble the gas through limewater. If carbon dioxide is present, the limewater will turn cloudy due to the formation of calcium carbonate. Another method is to use a pH indicator, like bromothymol blue, which will change color in the presence of carbon dioxide due to the formation of carbonic acid.


What will a burning splint do in nitrogen?

It will go out. Nitrogen, which makes up 79% of the Earth's atmosphere, does not support combustion.


What gas is produced when Sodium metal reacts violently with water to produce sodium hydroxide and a gas that pops in the presence of a burning splint?

The gas produced is hydrogen gas (H2). The reaction between sodium metal and water is a highly exothermic reaction that liberates hydrogen gas, which in turn reacts explosively with oxygen in the air when ignited by a burning splint.

Yes.

What gases will extinguish a burning splint?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen gas (N2) can extinguish a burning splint. These gases displace the oxygen in the air, which is necessary for combustion, and therefore extinguish the flame.


Will a burning spilint go out in carbon dioxide gas?

Yes, a burning splint will go out in carbon dioxide gas because carbon dioxide does not support combustion. When the concentration of oxygen is low, the splint will not have enough oxygen to sustain combustion and will be extinguished.


Would a glowing splint placed into carbon dioxide gas glow more brightly or reignite?

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 the name of the gas that causes a burning splint to go uot?

The gas that causes a burning splint to go out is carbon dioxide. Its presence is often used to test for the presence of this particular gas.


What is carbon dioxides effect on burning splint?

It will extinguish the flame, as it replaces the oxygen around the splint, which is an essential component of combustion. The splint may relight if placed in an oxygen rich environment.


What makes a burning splint go out?

Removing from an oxygenated environment. for example placing in a test tube of carbon dioxide

What happens to the falme when th burning splint is put into the mouth of the test tube with the test tube of solid calcium carbonate in it and then heated?

The burning splint is extinguished by the carbon dioxide given off from the calcium carbonate. CaCO3 --heat--> CaO + CO2 ==================================================


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.
