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

What gas makes up most of the air and does not react very much and a burning splint will go out in this gas?

Nitrogen


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.


What is the difference between a burning wooden splint and a glowing wooden splint?

A burning wooden splint has a visible flame at its burning end while a glowing wooden splint has glowing ember at its glowing end. Placing a glowing splint in a container with oxygen will cause it to burst into flames and become a burning splint.


This gas makes up most of the air It does not react much A burning splint will go out in this gas?

Nitrogen gas makes up most of the atmosphere. However carbon dioxide extinguishes a burning splint and is found in a small amount in the atmosphere Nitrogen gas. It is an inert gas that makes up over 70% of the Earth's atmosphere.


What would happen if you put a glowing splint in nitrogen?

The glowing splint would extinguish in nitrogen. Nitrogen gas is inert and does not support combustion.


What happens when you put a lighted splint in nitrogen?

When you put a lighted splint in nitrogen, it will continue to burn but more slowly than in oxygen due to the lack of oxygen in nitrogen. Nitrogen is an inert gas that does not support combustion, so the splint will eventually go out.


What is the result burning splint test for manganese?

The burning splint test for manganese involves observing a pale green flame when a burning splint is brought close to a manganese sample in a Bunsen burner flame. This test is indicative of the presence of manganese.


How do you do the burning splint test?

To do the burning splint test, you light a wooden splint and then blow it out to create an ember. You then place the splint near a gas sample without touching it. If the gas is flammable, it will ignite and produce a flame when the ember from the splint comes into contact with it.


How do you express reaction between co2 and burning splint?

You can't express that reaction because there isn't one: as CO2 is a well-known fire extinguishing agent, if you put a burning splint in CO2 the splint will go out. And the reason it will go out is CO2 displaces oxygen, which splints need to burn.


What do you conclude about one of the properties of the gas in the beaker based on the behavior of the burning splint?

If the burning splint is extinguished upon entry into the beaker, one could conclude that the gas in the beaker is likely non-flammable or oxygen-depleted. If the splint continues burning, this suggests the presence of oxygen in the beaker.


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.


Will a burning splint go out in carbon dioxide gas?

Yes.
