Timothy Johns Christian Howard Wan Huang 10/18/12 Flame Test Lab Introduction Spectroscopy is the study of the electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by atoms and molecules. These studies are very helpful in determining an unknown element‚ given the fact that all elements burn a different color. The flame colors vary because of the different amounts of energy the elements give off. This lab is made for the learner to determine the identity of two unknown elements. Hypothesis If

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

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

were some patterns that were noticeable during this experiment. It was noticed that all of the sprays with the metal potassium in them had turned the flame a light pink for a few seconds. The sprays that held the copper in them all turned the flame a vivid green colour‚ with some including green sparks also. Both of the sodium bottles turned the flame orange for a short time. Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in energy levels. If atoms are heated up to the point where the electrons are orbiting

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

Livana Partners : Rachel Gideon‚ Joy Boake‚ Hannah Harper Various Color of Light as the Effect of Electron Emission Objective Observe the characteristic colors produced by certain metallic ions when vaporized in a flame. Identify the unknown metallic ions by means of its flame tests. Background When atoms absorb energy‚ electrons move into higher energy levels‚ and these electrons lose energy by emitting light when they return to lower energy levels. Energy levels are fixed energies that electrons

Flame Test Lab Your company has been contracted by Julius and Annette Benetti. They are worried about some abandoned‚ rusted barrels of chemicals that their daughter found while playing in the vacant lot behind their home. The barrels have begun to leak a colored liquid that flows through their property before emptying into a local sewer. The Benettis want your company to identify the compound in the liquid. Earlier work indicates that it is a dissolved metal compound. Many metals‚ such as

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

electromagnetic spectrum contains color that we can and cannot see. The color blue has the highest energy with shorter wavelengths and a higher frequency while the color red has the lowest amount of energy with long wavelengths and a shorter frequency. Hypothesis: If you observe the characteristic emission spectra of several gases and
