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 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.


Will a burning splint go out in carbon dioxide gas?

Yes.


In a tube which gas 'pops' when a burning splint is inserted?

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 gas is it that we need to stay alive. it is also needed for burning.a burning splint will burn brightly in this gas?

Oxygen is the gas that we need to stay alive and is also required for burning. A burning splint will burn brightly in oxygen because it supports combustion.


What is the name of the gas that causes burning in the air?

What happens when you combine magnesium dioxide and a burning wood splint in a gas generating bottle?

When you combine magnesium dioxide with a burning wood splint in a gas generating bottle, the magnesium dioxide undergoes a chemical reaction in which it decomposes to form magnesium oxide and oxygen gas. The burning wood splint acts as a source of heat to initiate the reaction. The oxygen gas produced can be collected in the gas generating bottle.


A lighted splint is put into a gas jar of helium . what would happen?

the lighted splint would stop burning as Helium does not burn.


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.


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 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.


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.
