Lab 20: Flame Tests Purpose/Objective: The ground state is the normal electron configuration of atoms or ions in an element. When atoms or ions in ground state are heated to a higher temperature‚ some electrons absorb enough energy to move them to higher energy levels. This is known as the excited state. However‚ the excited configuration is unstable‚ and the electrons must return back to their positions in the lower energy level. As they return‚ the energy that was previously absorbed is now emitted

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

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

Emission Spectra & Flame Tests Intro The emission spectrum is used in modern chemistry to help further studies of wavelengths and the spectrum. When a metal in a compound reacts in a flame and produces a color‚ it helps to show the strongest color in the emission spectrum. The purpose of performing these operations on the flame was to see how different metals would react. Using a spectroscope‚ it is possible to observe the line emission spectrum produced by sunlight‚ artificial light‚ and

In this lab‚ we tested the effect of flame on different chemical solutions. In order to do this‚ we used a wooden stick soaked in a metal and nonmetal solution‚ hovered it over a bunsen burner‚ and recorded the color that the flame changed to. The seven solutions we tested were lithium chloride‚ strontium chloride‚ calcium chloride‚ sodium chloride‚ barium chloride‚ copper chloride‚ and potassium chloride. However‚ we had another four additional solutions‚ which had unknown chemical composition

Has your cheese been moved? While recollecting reading of a book called “Who moved my cheese “and evaluating the same in world around us‚ led to writing of this post. It is a fact for individuals as well for organisations that any stream of earnings‚ workings or processes cannot be taken for lasting for ever without any disruption. Especially in today’s world where intelligence has moved to Artificial Intelligence and human behaviours are being imbibed in Robots to do routine jobs‚ changes or disruptions

Part One (Flame Test) 1. Create and complete a data table for Part One of the lab. It should include the name of the element (or unknown) examined and the color of the observed flame. Solutions Names Known 1 Barium Known 2 Calcium Known 3 Sodium Known 4 Rubidium Known 5 Potassium Known 6 Lithium Unknown 1 Sodium Unknown 2 Potassium 2. Identify each unknown from Part One of the lab and briefly explain why you identified each unknown as you did. The first unknown from part one from this virtual lab
