You can test for oxygen by placing a glowing splint (not lit but not out) into the test tube where you think oxygen is present. If the splint relights, that means that it is oxygen. If this doesn't happen, then in your case it will be nitrogen.

A slogan is a quick and simple way to get exposure for a product. The atomic number for nitrogen is 7. A good slogan for the element nitrogen would be: Nitrogen Lucky #7.
Which would NOT be required safety equipment for a sea kayaker?
oxygen tank
What will happen if the oxygen will increase?
what would happen if oxygen increased would probaly not be any more benefcial, because we survive off of oxygen and if it could be beneficial beacuse it could be more pressure in out body and we wouldnt be able to take all of that in.
Why does fire need air?
Fire needs the oxygen in the air. Any other source of oxygen would also sustain fire.
Are there relationships between geological and biological events?
yes there are. biological events would not have been able to occur if geological events didnt occur. for example, if there was no oxygen in the atmosphere (geological event) plants would not have been able to come to life (biological event).
What are 4 substances that can be cycled between the living and nonliving environment?
There are many elements that cycle through the environment, but the ones you are probably asking about would be Carbon, Oxygen, and Nitrogen.
What test would allow you to tell the difference between carbon dioxide and nitrogen why would the burning splint test not work?
You stated that carbon dioxide and nitrogen are present, but you did not mention oxygen. Nothing burns without oxygen . . . If you expose limewater to carbon dioxide, it will get cloudy, but will not if you expose it to nitrogen.
Is nitrogen important for survival?
without nitrogen our bodys would over oxygenate (get to much oxygen). nitrogen is important for plants, after all they breath in nitrogen and breath out oxygen.
Equal volumes of nitrogen and oxygen at the same temperature and pressure would?
If equal volumes of nitrogen and oxygen are at the same temperature and pressure, then both (the nitrogen and oxygen) will contain the same number of particles
What is the more important the oxygen or the nitrogen?
umm oxygen. we would die without it
What element is contained in proteins?
That answer would be carbon Sources: Biology teacher.
What would be a list of Atmosphere?
nitrogen, oxygen, and argon
Why do we need nitrogen i the atmosphere?
Without nitrogen in the atmosphere, we would be breathing in nearly pure oxygen, which would be fatal.
Why did god made nitrogen more abundant than oxygen?
oxygen is used by human and animals for respiration but nitrogen do not. for consuming nitrogen plants need nitrogen fixation thus occurs on low scale on other hand oxygen is directly used so its cunsumbtion is more then nitrogen. another important point is that oxygen is used in burning, formation of water etc thus means ratio of cunsumbtion of oxygen is more then nitrogen ,if there was more oxygen then it would lead to a blast every time there was a spark
Oxidation number of no3?
If you are referring to the nitrate ion, NO3-, the oxidation number of oxygen would be O2- and nitrogen would be N5+. If you are talking about nitrogen trioxide NO3, the oxidation number of oxygen would be O2- and nitrogen would be N6+. Edit: Nitrogen trioxide does not exist in its free state.
What is the difference between N-nitrogen and N2-nitrogen gas?
Nitrogen (and oxygen and hydrogen) in the form of a gas is usually found as a molecule of two atoms of Nitrogen. That is N2. The fairly weak bond can be broken chemically, by heat, etc, and then you would have N.
What is nitrogen and oxgen called?
The compound formed through a mix of oxygen and nitrogen would be nitrogen oxide.
