The glowing splint test is a test for an oxidising gas, such as oxygen. [4] In this test, a splint is lit, allowed to burn for a few seconds, then blown out by mouth or by shaking. Whilst the ember at the tip is still glowing hot, the splint is introduced to the gas sample that has been trapped in a vessel. [4]
Ammonium hexachloroplatinate is used in platinum plating. Heating (NH 4) 2 [PtCl 6] under a stream of hydrogen at 200 °C produces platinum sponge. Treating this with chlorine gives H 2 [PtCl 6]. [2] Ammonium hexachloroplatinate decomposes to yield platinum sponge when heated to high temperatures: [2] [5]

Nitrous oxide supports combustion by releasing the dipolar bonded oxygen radical, and can thus relight a glowing splint. N 2 O is inert at room temperature and has few reactions. At elevated temperatures, its reactivity increases. For example, nitrous oxide reacts with NaNH 2 at 187 °C (369 °F) to give NaN 3: 2 NaNH 2 + N 2 O → NaN 3 + NaOH ...
This colourless liquid is prepared by treatment of arsenic(III) oxide with hydrogen chloride followed by distillation: As 2 O 3 + 6 HCl → 2 AsCl 3 + 3 H 2 O. It can also be prepared by chlorination of arsenic at 80–85 °C, but this method requires elemental arsenic. [4] 2 As + 3 Cl 2 → 2 AsCl 3
The solution travels to a tank that separates the hydrogen gas based on its low density. [1] Only water and sodium chloride are used. The simplified chemical reaction is: NaCl + H 2 O + energy → NaOCl + H 2 [citation needed] That is, energy is added to sodium chloride (table salt) in water, producing sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen gas.
In the laboratory it is occasionally used as a source of chlorine, with elimination of ethene and chloride. Via several steps, 1,2-dichloroethane is a precursor to 1,1,1-trichloroethane . Historically, before leaded petrol was phased out, chloroethanes were used as an additive in petrol to prevent lead buildup in engines.
It does not melt, even at dull red heat, instead subliming [3] and decomposing to gaseous mercury, hydrogen chloride, and nitrogen oxides. [8] Consequently sealed containers with this chemical may explode when heated. [9] The substance is a deadly poison, [2] although not a carcinogen. [10]
