Gas Tests and Reactions Explained

The document describes a series of gas tests where different gases are released during chemical reactions and identified by their effects on glowing wood splinters, production of sounds, changes in color of litmus paper, or reactions with other solutions. Key observations include a rekindled glowing splinter indicating oxygen gas, a pop sound releasing hydrogen gas, limewater becoming cloudy from carbon dioxide gas, and litmus paper color changes revealing the presence of ammonia, chlorine, and nitrogen dioxide gases.
