Message:


if wea are doing an experiment and we got an unkown gas, how do I 
determine if the gas is actually a CO2 gas. I know if I light a match 
and if the fire goes off then it's CO2..but I can't use that in an 
experiment where I'm not sure what gases I'm getting. If the Gas to be 
a fire hazard then I wouldn't be able to use that Method. I need more 
ways to determine or Verify the Co2 Gas?

Thanks in Advance
