Flame test: AIM: To determine which part of the salt is responsible for the characteristics in the flame. HYPOTHESIS: If we introduce a metal salt in the blue flame of the Bunsen burner‚ then the colour given off by the flame is due to the metal part of the salt. METHOD: (1) With a heat proof mat under the Bunsen burner‚ turn the gas on and light up the Bunsen burner with matches. (2) Pour enough Hydrochloric acid into a beaker. (3) Using your wire‚ dip it into the beaker containing Hydrochloric

Emission Spectra & Flame Tests Intro The emission spectrum is used in modern chemistry to help further studies of wavelengths and the spectrum. When a metal in a compound reacts in a flame and produces a color‚ it helps to show the strongest color in the emission spectrum. The purpose of performing these operations on the flame was to see how different metals would react. Using a spectroscope‚ it is possible to observe the line emission spectrum produced by sunlight‚ artificial light‚ and

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

Carbonate due to results from the Flame Test and Anion I Test. Throughout our lab days‚ my friends would help me determine various odors and colors of the substances which allowed me to confirm my answer. Also‚ I looked select test results up on the internet to see if they matched my observations. On our first lab day‚ I received my bottle and noticed a white precipitate in the bottom therefore‚ my unknown was insoluble. I started my testing with the Flame Test and did not evaporate my unknown.

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

Lab: Flame Test Purpose: to determine the ID of 2 unknown substances Background Information: Every atom consists of a nucleus with tiny electrons whizzing around it. The further away from the nucleus they are‚ the more energy the electrons have. If a metal atom is heated‚ the electrons get enough energy to jump higher away from the nucleus‚ they become “excited”. When they fall back closer to the nucleus (back to their ground state)‚ they give off this extra energy as light. Why is the

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
