Co2 Inside Cylinder Tank

[kenneth_kpe]

well im having doubts that the air placed inside the cylinder tank isn't co2 but im giving it the benefit of the doubt.... is there another way to find out if it is co2 ? (aside from injecting it into the tank)

Im starting to doubt if it is co2 because my plants have not pearled a bit (with the yeast mixture they do) and my PH rose to slightly above neutral after using the air gun tank ....

Only way I can think off,

Try to put a fire out with it

Or, inject it into a suitable container full of water and see if it lowers the PH of that.

I dont know of any tests there are to check.

If it's CO2 it will feel really cold but I think the pH lowering test is probably the best.

a friend of mine also adivised me that co2 would be really cold if left to blow out.. is this true ? i did try it out and it did feel cold hmmm this is hard maybe my injection method isn't really that efficient as i initialy thought....

There is a thing you can do if you take a solution of something (can't remember the name) and blow into it (since we breathe out CO2)......the liquid turns from crystal clear to milky white. I can't remember what it was though.....

Google perhaps

hmmm interesting hehehehe il google into it

Its lime water, or calcium hydroxide. CO2 turns lime water milky
