Special Report Plastic Additive: A Techno-Commercial Profile B.G. SAMPAT E-mail: bgsampat@bom3.vsnl.net.in INTRODUCTION Every activity in modern life is influenced by plastics and many depend entirely on plastic products. All these plastic products are made from the essential polymer mixed with a complex blend of materials known collectively as additives. Without additives‚ plastics would not work‚ but with them they can be made safer‚ cleaner‚ tougher and more colourful. Additives cost money

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‚

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

REPORT SHEET Date | 2.26.2013 | | Name | Tina Mwale | Flame Tests | | | Include the data sheet with this report sheet. 1. An AM radio station broadcasts at a wavelength of 0.500 kilometers. Microwaves can have a wavelength of 12 cm. A fire place can give off photons with a wavelength of 1.5 x 10-3 millimeters and the X-rays used in a dentist’s office have a wavelength of 2.1 x 10-11 meters. Ultraviolet rays‚ the ones that give you sunburn or fade the colors of clothes have

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

I. Purpose: To observe the colors produced when compounds are introduced into a flame and the electrons become excited. To estimate the wavelength of light produced‚ then calculate the frequency and energy of the light II. Safety: Standard safety procedures III.

found in a compound. And in order to detect the presence of metals in a compound‚ flame test is done. The result of the flame test is based on each element’s characteristic which is emission spectrum. Flame test involves placing a sample of an element or compound in a non-luminous flame and observing the resulting color of the flame. Flame test is fast and easy to perform. All the equipment needed for flame test is present in all chemistry laboratories. Solubility is a quantitative term defined

ACTIVITY FLAME TEST Summary The purpose of this lab was to see how different compounds can change color while in a flame and with this color‚ I can identify the compound. The test involve putting sample element and see what color appears. Also Thermal excited electron goes from low to high energy level which raises the color but when the excitation ends electron gets to lower level which makes the color back to normal. In order to determine the identity of several unknowns‚ I will perform flame tests
