8.1 Testing for gases:


explain the word
Read these facts about testing for gases and explain what the underlined word means.
1 To test for the gas carbon dioxide, the gas is bubbled into limewater. If carbon dioxide is present, the
limewater will turn cloudy.

2 When you test for the gas oxygen, you use a glowing splint. If the gas is oxygen, the splint will re-light.

3 To test for hydrogen gas, you use a lighted splint. If the gas is hydrogen, there will be a pop.

8.2 Correct the text:


chemical reactions
or not?
Read the text about investigations that Jon and Sam did. Rewrite the text to correct the facts, spelling and
grammar errors.

First investigation
We added some black coper oxide powder to about 150 cm3 dilute sulfuric acid in a test tube. We stirred
it gently.
The black poder disappeared and the solution went blue.
A chemical action had taken place. We know this because there is a colour change.

Second investigation
We put some hot water in a beaker and a small piece of chocolet in a test tube we stood the test tube in
the beaker of water.
The chocolet melted and became a liquid.
A chemical reaction had not taken place the chocolet had changed state form solid to liquid.

Third investigation
We half filled a test tube with some silver nitrate and slowly added some calcium chloride.
A white solid, called a presipitate, formed.
A chemical reaction had taken place we know this because a presipitate formed.

We put a few spitulas of baking powder into a test tube and added some vingar.
There was a lot of fizzing and a gas was gave off.
A chemical reaction had taken place. We know this because a gas was gave off.

Fifth investigation
We opened a can of cola. There was a lot of fizzing and a gas was gave off.
A chemical reaction had taken place. We know this because a gas was gave off.

Sixth investigation
We put a solution of blue copper sulfate into an evapourating basin and placed it on a tripode with a pipe
clay triangle. We placed a lit Bunsen burner under it and heated it. We turned off the heat when the
solution started to spite.
Some solid crystals began to form in the evapourating basin.
A chemical reaction had not taken place as no new product had been formed.
