A wooden splint that is used in an experiment is set on fire and held over a container of gas. The color of flame and amount of popping that the woodne splint does will tell you what type of gas is in the container.

They test for different gaseous presences. Usually for oxygen, carbon dioxide or hydrogen.

How could you use a wooden splint and a flame to identify each of these gases?

To identify gases using a wooden splint and a flame, you can perform two tests: For hydrogen, introduce a lit wooden splint to the gas; if it produces a characteristic "pop" sound, hydrogen is present. For oxygen, place a glowing (but not burning) wooden splint into the gas; if it reignites, oxygen is confirmed. For carbon dioxide, passing the gas over a glowing splint will extinguish it, indicating the presence of carbon dioxide.

When heated, copper(II) carbonate (CuCO3) will decompose to form copper(II) oxide (CuO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and oxygen gas (O2). A wooden splint will continue to burn in the presence of the oxygen gas, producing carbon dioxide and water vapor as it undergoes combustion.
