Flame Tests 12.01.2010 19.01.2010 Introduction The normal electron configuration of atoms or ions of an element is known as the “ground state”. In this most stable energy state‚ all electrons are in the lowest energy levels available. When atoms or ions in the ground state are heated to high temperatures‚ some electrons may absorb enough energy to allow them to “jump” to higher energy levels. The element is then said to be in the “excited state”. This excited configuration is unstable‚

INTRODUCTION Flame photometry‚ also referred to as ’flame atomic emission spectrometry ’ is a quick‚ economical and simple way of detecting traces of metal ions‚ primarily Sodium‚ Potassium‚ Lithium‚ Calcium‚ and Barium‚ in a concentrated solution. The process is an extension of the principles used in a flame test‚ with the main differences having more precision in the results‚ and the use of more advanced technology. This report focuses on the theory‚ applications‚ limitations and analysis of Flame Photometry

Title: Flame Test Aim: To determine the cation in each of the unknown substance X‚ Y and Z by observing the flame colour of different metal compounds. Introduction: A distinctive feature of many s-block metals is their ability to produce flame colours. At temperature of a Bunsen flame‚ a compound will decompose to give gaseous atoms of its constituent elements. When an electron in the gaseous atom absorbs energy from the flame‚ it will move from an orbital with lower energy to

Flame Test Laboratory Report Introduction The purpose of this lab is to observe and identify metallic ions‚ using flame tests. The traditional flame test originated when Robert Bunsen invented the Bunsen burner to test two new alkali metals he and his partner had discovered. “A flame test is an analytic procedure used in chemistry to detect the presence of certain elements‚ primarily metal ions‚ based on each element’s characteristic emission spectrum” (Flame Test 1). Using this test‚ an element

Flame Test Lab Question: When a compound is placed in the flame of a burner‚ what happens to the color of the flame? Hypothesis: When the compound is placed in the flame‚ the flame changes color depending on the chemical compound. When they’re heated‚ they gain energy and changed color sometimes. Safety Requirements for this Lab: Wear goggles at all times. If you want to remove them to write in your notebook you may sit at a table in the center of the room. When you sit down remove them

Flame lab test Chemistry Introduction The lab test performed was to determine characteristic colors that were produced by specific metallic ions that are shown in a flame. This happens when an electron gains energy; the electron moves from an energy level that’s farthest away and to an empty orbital close to the nucleus with higher levels‚ so one of the electrons gives off energy. A flame test is a visual test where the energy is in the form of a color change and the change can

Date: 20/03/13 Flame Test – Investigating Compounds Aims To identify the presence of a relatively small amount (ie low concentration) of a metal ion in a compound. Method 1. Clean a platinum or nichrome wire by dipping it into concentrated hydrochloric acid. 2. Hold the platinum or nichrome wire at the hottest or blue part of a non-luminous Bunsen flame. 3. Repeat until the wire does not produce any colour in the flame (note: do not touch the wire‚ as salt in sweat will produce
