Question

what happens when a burning splinter is placed in a jar containing hydrogen gas ?

Answer 1

Hydrogen is actually a combustible gas. But when you try to burn it, it explodes. However when you produce hydrogen in a laboratory, which is relatively less, and put a burning splint, it also explodes, but in a reduced form - a POP sound. ... So, when a burning splinter is brought near the gas mixture - it explodes.

Answer 2

REASON

Hence on burning splinter , it bursts with a pop sound !

Thus this takes place :

OBSERVATION

The burning splinter extinguishes with a POP sound !

USES

This can be used for identifying the presence of Hydrogen gas as evolved from a reaction

Hope it helps :)
