A gas delights the glowing splinter

Answer 1

oxidising gas such as oxygen.

Answer 2

hey..mate
The glowing splint test is a test for an oxidising gas, such as oxygen. ... The more concentrated the oxygen, the faster the wood burns, and the more intense the flame. This test is not specific for oxygen, but will react similarly for any oxidising gas (such as nitrous oxide) that supports the combustion of the splint.

hope it's help you....
