Study Notes
Properties and Applications of Gases in Air
- Experiment 7.1 involves testing for oxygen and carbon dioxide using various methods such as observing color, smell, and reaction with indicators.
- Experiment 7.2 focuses on testing for water and water vapor using dry cobalt chloride paper and hot water.
- Oxygen can be identified as it relights a glowing splint and causes a burning splint to burn more brightly.
- Carbon dioxide can be identified as it turns hydrogencarbonate indicator from red to yellow and turns limewater from colorless to milky.
- There are no simple tests for nitrogen and noble gases due to their unreactive nature.
- A checkpoint question involves identifying a gas based on its reaction with specific tests.
- Oxygen is used to assist in breathing difficulties and in industrial applications such as metal cutting and fire extinguishing.
- Carbon dioxide is denser than air and is used in fire extinguishers and in the production of fog effects.
- Solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) changes directly to a gas at room temperature and is used for cooling and creating a fog effect.
- Neon is used in advertising lights.
