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.
