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 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 Test Lab Introduction/Purpose: When a certain amount of energy is supplied within an atom‚ the electrons of that atom begin to move up the levels of electron configuration. This level of energy is called a quantum. The object of this experiment was to examine the movement of electrons up and down energy levels through the use of given elemental substances. With heat supplying a large amount of energy‚ the properties of the elements caused them to give off a certain color or tone of

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

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

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
