A student collects a gas given off in a reaction. The student tests a tube of the gas and a tube of air in the same way, using a glowing splint.
| Sample | Observation |
|---|---|
| Gas from the reaction | The glowing splint relights. |
| Air | The glowing splint does not relight. |
Using the results, identify the gas and explain how the comparison with air supports your answer.
