Reaction to litmus paper • Can identify if a substance is acidic or basic. Acid Base
Reaction to cobalt chloride paper • Turns pink in the presence of water. no water with water
Reaction to limewater • Turns Cloudy in the presence of CO2
Reaction to glowing splint • Splint reignites in the presence of oxygen A pair of bellows uses the same principal to reignite a fire
Reaction to burning splint • An explosion will occur in the presence of hydrogen. Hindenburg in 1937 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PLH4H7Mjl8
