Question

2

Did the same result occur in both parts when you held up a lighted splint to the jar's mouth?
What can you conclude from this about the identity of the gas(es) in Parts 1 and 2? (3
points)

Answer 1

Oxygen gas causes a glowing splint to continue burning. If you observe a gas forming, test for its identity by inserting a glowing wood splint into the mouth of the test tube. Light the splint and then blow out the flame, leaving a glow.
