The 20 questions

  1. What is the positive result for the standard chemical test for oxygen gas?

    • Produces a pop
    • Bleaches damp litmus
    • Relights glowing splint
    • Turns limewater milky
  2. What happens when a glowing splint is placed into a tube of oxygen gas?

    • It relights
    • It turns green
    • It goes out
    • It pops
  3. Which gas relights a glowing splint?

    • Hydrogen
    • Oxygen
    • Chlorine
    • Carbon dioxide
  4. Where is the glowing splint positioned during the test for oxygen gas?

    • At the very bottom
    • Submerged in limewater
    • Outside the opening
    • Inside test tube
  5. What must the splint be in the oxygen test?

    • Wet and cold
    • Burning with a pop
    • Dipped in acid
    • Glowing
  6. What property of oxygen is demonstrated when a glowing splint relights?

    • Supports combustion
    • Bleaching action
    • Reducing power
    • Acidic properties
  7. What property of oxygen causes a glowing splint to relight?

    • Is flammable
    • Bleaches litmus
    • Forms a precipitate
    • Supports combustion
  8. A gas causes a glowing splint to burst into flame. What is the gas?

    • Methane
    • Nitrogen
    • Oxygen
    • Carbon dioxide
  9. What does a glowing splint going out in a gas sample show?

    • Gas is not oxygen
    • Gas is pure oxygen
    • Gas is hydrogen
    • Gas is chlorine
  10. Which item is used in the chemical test for oxygen?

    • Limewater
    • Burning splint
    • Litmus paper
    • Glowing splint
  11. Which gas causes a glowing splint to relight?

    • Hydrogen
    • Oxygen
    • Nitrogen
    • Carbon dioxide
  12. Which gas gives a squeaky pop with a burning splint?

    • Hydrogen
    • Chlorine
    • Oxygen
    • Carbon dioxide
  13. Which hazard is most relevant when using a splint in gas tests?

    • Radioactive decay
    • High voltage
    • Hot apparatus
    • Strong magnetism
  14. What is the positive observation for the oxygen gas test?

    • Limewater turns milky
    • Litmus paper bleaches
    • Splint relights
    • Squeaky pop heard
  15. Why is a glowing splint used to test for oxygen?

    • Gives clear result
    • It changes colour
    • It produces bubbles
    • It dissolves gas
  16. What does a faintly relighting glowing splint suggest?

    • Pure nitrogen
    • Impure oxygen
    • Pure chlorine
    • Pure hydrogen
  17. Which chemical property allows oxygen to be identified with a splint?

    • High solubility
    • Supports combustion
    • Acidic nature
    • Bleaching action
  18. Where should the glowing splint be placed during the oxygen test?

    • Underneath the tube
    • Above the tube
    • Inside the tube
    • In a water bath
  19. What is the correct positive result for the oxygen test?

    • Glowing splint relights
    • Limewater turns milky
    • Squeaky pop produced
    • Litmus paper bleaches
  20. Why does oxygen gas not produce a squeaky pop with a burning splint?

    • It puts out fires
    • It is too dense
    • It is a noble gas
    • It is not flammable
