    Key Questions:

    1. How would you test if carbon dioxide was present In a reaction?
      • Use an aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide (lime water). When carbon dioxide is shaken with or bubbled through limewater the limewater turns milky (cloudy).
    2. How would you test if Hydrogen was present In a reaction?
      • Use a burning splint held at the open end of a test tube of the gas. Hydrogen burns rapidly with a pop sound
    3. How would you test if chlorine was present In a reaction?
      • When damp litmus paper is put into chlorine gas the litmus paper is bleached and turns white.
    4. How would you test if Oxygen was present In a reaction?
      • Use a glowing splint inserted into a test tube of the gas. The splint relights in oxygen
