limewater turns cloudy in the presence of carbon dioxide
To prepare and examine carbon dioxide:
I'm not sure if it's an official test, but you could take a lit match and put it in the test tube (keeping the test tube right side up). If the test tube does contain carbon dioxide the match would be smothered since the carbon dioxide prevents oxygen from reaching the match.
bubble the gas through lime water. if it is carbon dioxide, it will turn cloudy.
to see if a gas given off is carbon dioxide you can trap gas in a test tube light a splint and place in tube if flame goes out then it is Carbon Dioxide
The splint test is to test for the presence of oxygen. You light a small piece of wood (the splint), then blow it out. The end of the wood will still glow. If you put the glowing splint into a test tube with oxygen, it will relight. It you put the glowing splint into a test tube with carbon dioxide, it will stop glowing. A better test for carbon dioxide is to bubble it through a solution of limewater.
how do we test carbon dioxide
To prepare and examine carbon dioxide:
To test the presence of carbon dioxide bubble the gas into the lime water. Carbon dioxide reacts to form calcium carbonate which turns cloudy.
It is a test for carbon dioxide.
Lime water test.
When carbon dioxide is passed through lime water it goes cloudy.
