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.

Is a gassed form when burning a wood splint?

carbon dioxide


How could a burning splint be used to tell if gas were oxygen or carbon dioxide?

A burning splint can be used to test for oxygen or carbon dioxide by observing the splint's reaction. If the splint is placed in a container with oxygen, it will reignite or burn more vigorously due to the increased availability of oxygen for combustion. In contrast, if the splint is placed in carbon dioxide, it will extinguish, as carbon dioxide does not support combustion. This simple test helps differentiate between the two gases based on their effects on a flame.


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.


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.


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.

What effect does carbon dioxide has on burning splint?

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.


Will a burning splint go out in carbon dioxide gas?

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 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.


What makes a burning splint go out?

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