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

A generation of Suffolk Sporting talent inspired by Olympic flame The Suffolk Youth Games completed its inspirational journey from the millennium to the Olympics yesterday and bowed out in a blaze of glory as the Olympic Torch visited the closing ceremony. Around 800 young people representing Suffolk’s sporting future converged on Bury St Edmunds on Saturday 7th July for the thirteenth staging of the Redrow Homes Suffolk Youth Games. The event‚ organised by Suffolk Sport‚ the County Sports Partnership

Discussion Questions 1. Why do different metals have different characteristic flame test colours? The photons emitted during the test precisely match the quantum energy difference between the excited state and the ground state. For different elements the spacing between the ground state and the higher energy levels is different. So different elements have different flame test colours. 2. Most salts contain a metal and a non-metal. Look at the compounds we tested and determine whether it is

For ex. Wood ‚paper 3 FUEL: A substance that is burnt for obtaining heat and light is called a fuel. Carbon based fuel: wood ‚coal‚wax ‚petrol etc. Non carbon based fuel: hydrogen 4 CHARACTERISTICS OF AN

Flame Lab Objective: How an electron absorbs energy and re-emits it as light and why different elements have different spectra. Also to learn how to use flame tests to determine the identity of unknown mixtures. Hypothesis: We know that certain compounds will burn certain flame colors because they emit different wave lengths. Introduction: Neils Bohr made the “Bohr’s Model” in 1922‚ he found that electron travel in specified fields – which‚ when excited‚ will jump to different rings

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

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
