Gas Test

Which if the correct method for testing for hydrogen gas?

• Hold the tube containing the gas upright and place a lighted wooden splinter at the end of the tube.

• Hold the tube containing the gas upright and place a glowing splint at the end of the tube.

• Hold the tube containing the gas angled down and place a lit splint at the end of the tube.

• Hold the tube containing the gas angled down and place a glowing splint at the end of the tube.

Which is not true about the test for carbon dioxide gas?

• the gas is bubbled through limewater solution.
