Specification 5.8.2.1 · Paper 4
Revise: Hydrogen Gas TestLight the end of the splint so that it has a flame, then hold the burning splint at the open end of the test tube.
Give both the method and the positive result: hold a burning splint at the open end of the test tube; hydrogen burns rapidly with a pop.
Specify a burning splint, not a glowing splint, and place it at the mouth rather than deep inside the tube.
