Tests for gases
Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, ammonia and chlorine can be identified using different tests.
Hydrogen. A lighted wooden splint makes a popping sound in a test tube of hydrogen.
Oxygen. A glowing wooden splint relights in a test tube of oxygen.
If you only want to balance nuclear reactions, then you should know that number of nucleons are conserved before and after nuclear reaction. Also, charge is conserved as well.
Other things which are conserved in a nuclear reaction are:
Conservation of:
1. Parity
2. Spin
3. angular momentum(vector sum of intrinsic spin and orbital angular momentum)
4. linear momentum
5. Isotopic spin
6. Energy
Answer:Chemistry is important for meeting our needs of food,clothing,shelter,health,energy,and clan air,water,and soil.
