A flame test is conducted when an element is burned and the flame produces a color different the starting flame color. When the coffee stirrer was put into the flame‚ the element’s atoms (from the solution of the stirrer) left the original level of energy. When the atoms fell back to ground level‚ they released photons in the form of colored flame. Using the flame test‚ unknown compounds can be identified when they are burned since each element has a specific color. (Douma‚ 2008). The color

Background In the Flame test lab we took a simple wire‚ looped it‚ and rinsed it in HCL (Hydrochloric Acid ). Then we dipped the wire in the different samples provided. The samples provided were Sodium‚Potassium‚Calcium‚ Barium‚ Strontium‚ Lithium ‚ and Copper II. Finally we put the wire loop into the flame of the bunsen burner. The flame erupted into many different colors for each specific sample. We then used the colors we recorded to find the two unknown samples given to us. But the question

Laboratory Report on the Reaction of Flames Towards Medals  Introduction The purpose of the flame lab was to identify a set of flame-test color standards for selected metal ions‚ relate the colors of a flame test to the behavior of excited electrons in a metal ion‚ observe spectral lines using diffraction grating‚ and to identify an unknown metal ion by using a flame test. My hypothesis for the lab was that most of the flames when sprayed with a solution will be a orange-red color. The

Chemistry 02 Oct 2014 Flame Test Lab Purpose: To find out the unknown compound from known compounds and the color of the flame. Safety & Precautions: •Do not cross contaminate compounds. •Keep goggles on at all times when working on lab. •Long hair should be tied up to avoid being singed.

Flame Test Lab Morgan Chemistry CP 5/30/14 Abstract- In the flame test lab‚ the flame test was performed to excite the electrons in the samples and observe the color of the flame. The flame emits a color because each element has an exactly defined emission spectrum‚ which one can use to identify them. For example‚ NaCl was highlighter yellow‚ Sr(NO3)2 was sun orange‚ CuCl2 was turquoise‚ LiCl was neon red‚ KCl was solar flare yellow‚ and BaCl2 was Voldemort green. Introduction- In Bohr’s

Flame test: AIM: To determine which part of the salt is responsible for the characteristics in the flame. HYPOTHESIS: If we introduce a metal salt in the blue flame of the Bunsen burner‚ then the colour given off by the flame is due to the metal part of the salt. METHOD: (1) With a heat proof mat under the Bunsen burner‚ turn the gas on and light up the Bunsen burner with matches. (2) Pour enough Hydrochloric acid into a beaker. (3) Using your wire‚ dip it into the beaker containing Hydrochloric

Flame Tests By: Jordan Anthony‚ Zack Balog‚ and Evan Degraw Regents Chemistry class‚ Union Springs High School‚ 4th period January 19/2015 The purpose of this lab was to see what colors are characteristic of particular metallic ions in a flame test and use their characteristic color to identify other elements. Another purpose is to understand how fireworks work. This experiment will help one understand how a flame test is performed and that every metal has a unique bright

11th D Flame Test Intro: The flame test is a procedure used by chemists to identify the presence of specified metal ions‚ based on the color the flame that appears along with it when it ’s heated. Our flame test was in lab class‚ where the main aim was to tested different solid metals in the flame in order to observe the wide variety of colors those chemicals also sometimes compounds (by mixing them) they produced‚ the second one was to identify unknown metals based on their flame color
