The 20 questions

  1. What equipment is used in the chemical test for hydrogen gas?

    • Limewater
    • Glowing splint
    • Damp litmus paper
    • Burning splint
  2. What sound does hydrogen make when tested with a burning splint?

    • Deep rumble
    • Fizzing hiss
    • Loud whistle
    • Squeaky pop
  3. A positive hydrogen test with a burning splint gives:

    • Relighting
    • Milky limewater
    • A pop sound
    • Bleached litmus
  4. Which gas gives a pop with a lit splint?

    • Hydrogen
    • Chlorine
    • Oxygen
    • Carbon dioxide
  5. A gas from zinc and acid makes a lit splint pop. The gas is:

    • Chlorine
    • Hydrogen
    • Carbon dioxide
    • Oxygen
  6. What happens when a glowing splint is placed into hydrogen gas?

    • Extinguishes
    • Relights
    • Sparkles brightly
    • Turns green
  7. Why does hydrogen produce a pop sound during the gas test?

    • Slow condensation
    • Rapid combustion
    • Phase change
    • Endothermic cooling
  8. Where must the burning splint be held during the hydrogen test?

    • Base of tube
    • Open tube end
    • Inside bung
    • Under water
  9. Burning hydrogen in oxygen forms:

    • Carbon dioxide
    • Chlorine
    • Water
    • Oxygen
  10. The balanced equation for hydrogen burning in oxygen is:

    • 2H2 + O2 gives 2H2O
    • H2 + O gives H2O
    • H2 + O2 gives H2O
    • 2H2 + 2O2 gives H2O
  11. Which gas is confirmed by a squeaky pop test result?

    • Chlorine
    • Oxygen
    • Hydrogen
    • Carbon dioxide
  12. A gas gives a squeaky pop with a lit splint. What is it?

    • Oxygen
    • Air
    • Nitrogen
    • Hydrogen
  13. A lit splint gives no pop in a gas sample. What does this rule out?

    • Oxygen
    • Carbon dioxide
    • Hydrogen
    • Chlorine
  14. Hydrogen is a flammable gas, so the test must use:

    • Limewater
    • A glowing splint
    • Litmus paper
    • A burning splint
  15. What causes the characteristic pop sound in the hydrogen test?

    • Burning with air
    • Absorbing heat
    • Boiling water
    • Reacting with glass
  16. Which test is used for hydrogen gas?

    • Burning splint
    • Damp litmus
    • Glowing splint
    • Limewater test
  17. What sound does hydrogen make with a lit splint?

    • Pop sound
    • Squeaky click
    • Loud bang
    • Hissing sound
  18. Why is a small test volume used for hydrogen?

    • Avoid large explosion
    • Speed up reaction
    • Lower the temperature
    • Conserve gas supply
  19. The pop test for hydrogen is best described as a:

    • Qualitative test
    • Quantitative titration
    • Chromatographic separation
    • Gravimetric analysis
  20. What equipment is used to test for hydrogen?

    • Litmus paper
    • Limewater
    • Glowing splint
    • Lit splint
