A laboratory receives a gas cylinder whose label has become detached. The delivery record shows that the cylinder contains exactly one of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and chlorine. A technician tests separate small samples of the gas. A burning splint does not produce a squeaky pop, and damp blue litmus paper is not bleached white.
Which two gases are still possible identities of the gas in the cylinder?
Hydrogen and chlorine
Oxygen and carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide and chlorine
Hydrogen and oxygen
