Light a splint on fire, and then blow the flame out. You want your splint to be glowing red. Then, simply put the splint into the mouth of the the test tube, and if your splint re-lights up into a flame, you'll know it's oxygen gas.

How do you remove oxygen from a test tube?

To remove oxygen from a test tube, one method is to displace it with an inert gas, such as nitrogen or argon. By flushing the test tube with the inert gas, the oxygen is pushed out. Another method is to create a vacuum inside the test tube to remove the oxygen. This can be done using a vacuum pump or a syringe to pull the air out of the tube.


How do you check the presence of oxygen gas in a test tube?

To check the presence of oxygen gas in a test tube, you can perform the glowing splint test. Simply insert a glowing splint into the test tube - if the splint reignites, it indicates the presence of oxygen gas.


What is the test for oxygen and the result if oxygen is present?

If a test tube is filled with oxygen when you put a glowing splint into it, the splint will relight. (To make the splint glow you have to light it then blow it out and put it into the test tube immediately.) Hope this helps. XD XD

Ya... In a test tube add some aluminum foils and some amount of NaOH... Introduce the flame near mouth of the test tube... Then see the magic...


If you collected the gas produced by the photosynthesizing leaves how would you check if it contained oxygen?

The test for oxygen is to insert a glowing splint into a test tube and see if it glows brighter or re-ignites.
