Identifying Gases Hydrogen, Oxygen & Carbon Dioxide
Hydrogen Gas • Chemical formula: H2 • Positive test – insert a burning splint into a test tube of gas, if there is ‘pop’ the gas is hydrogen
Oxygen Gas • Chemical formula: O2 • Positive test – light a splint, then blow it out so there is a glowing ember on the end, insert the glowing splint into the gas, if the splint bursts into flames, the gas is oxygen
Carbon dioxide • Chemical formula: CO2 • Positive test – insert a burning splint into a test tube of gas, if the flame goes out then the gas is carbon dioxide
