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.

∙ 13y agoThe burning splint will no longer continue to bun once added CO2. This happens because fire needs oxygen to feed it but once added to CO2 the flame will be put out because it doesn't have any fuel it can use.

When ammonium carbonate decomposes would a glowing spling burn brighter in the presence of the gases that are evolved?
No. One of the gases produced by burning Ammonium Carbonate is Carbon Dioxide (CO2), so the splint would actually extinquish.
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?
Testing for carbon dioxide step wise:- 1.Invert a test tube so that the open end is facing down. 2.Release the gas you want to test from its container into the test tube. Keep the test tube inverted so that the gas does not escape. 3.Light a splint with matches or a lighter. Place the lit end of the splint in the test tube. The splint will immediately extinguish if carbon dioxide is present in the gas. 4.Place moist blue litmus paper in the test tube. The litmus paper will turn red if carbon dioxide is present in the gas. 5.Place moist universal indicator paper in the test tube. The universal indicator paper will turn orange if carbon dioxide is present in the gas.
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?
Hydrogen, H2
What gases will extinguish a burning splint?
carbon dioxide
Will a burning splint go out in carbon dioxide gas?
Yes.
Is a gassed form when burning a wood splint?
carbon dioxide
What makes a burning splint go out?
Removing from an oxygenated environment. for example placing in a test tube of carbon dioxide
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 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.
How can you tell if a chemical is carbon dioxide by using a splint?
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.
What test would allow you to tell the difference between carbon dioxide and nitrogen why would the burning splint test not work?
You stated that carbon dioxide and nitrogen are present, but you did not mention oxygen. Nothing burns without oxygen . . . If you expose limewater to carbon dioxide, it will get cloudy, but will not if you expose it to nitrogen.
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.
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.
