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

Verifying Differences Between Athletes’ Heart Rates And Non-Athletes’ Heart Rates By Using Step Test Introduction: Different people have different heart rates because of many reasons such as health condition‚ smoking‚ working out‚ among others. This step test is used to compare and figure out the differences between athletes’ heart rates and non-athletes’ heart rates before and after the test. Kuno Hottenrott stated that the normal average heart rate of people ranges from 40 to 100 beats per

Lab Questions: Are flame tests valuable for detecting metal ions present in a mixture of metal ions? Flame test may not be valuable for detecting individual metal ions present in a mixture of metal ions. Although each metal ion emits a different color of light‚ which corresponds to a certain wavelength of

Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to use staining techniques and biochemical testing to identify an unknown bacteria using Bergey’s manual. Bergey’s manual of Systematic Bacteriology is a dichotomous key primarily used to identify a bacterial species. Biochemical tests are used to differentiate different species of bacteria. These tests are effective in determining the characteristics of the microbe being tested. Such characteristics include citrate utilization‚ gelatin hydrolysis‚ nitrate

Repeat step 4 for each of the remaining salts. 3. Repeat step 4 for each of the unknown metals and predict the identity of the unknown metals. Repeat any of the known metals to help with this prediction. **Wash hands thoroughly before leaving the lab. ** Some of the salts used are poisonous or irritating to the skin. Keep your hands away from your mouth until after you have washed them and have let the

Discussion: There 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

The Urea test was used to test both Unknown Gram-positive and Unknown Gram-negative bacteria. One colony of bacteria was used from the Unknown 13A plate and Unknown 13B plate in order to inoculate the Urea Slant. After the slant was inoculated‚ the cultures were placed in an incubator at 35ºC for Gram-positive bacteria‚ and 37ºC for Gram-negative bacteria for a total of 48 hours. If the Urea test were positive‚ the color of the slant would have changed to a hot pink color‚ which indicated the bacteria’s

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

Testicular torsion (TT) is a serious medical emergency that is mostly encountered in newborn and adolescent males but it can occur in any age and needs urgent surgical intervention 1. TT is defined as a rotation of the longitudinal axis of the spermatic cord resulting in obstruction of testicular blood flow 2. Torsion/Detorsion is a typical condition of ischemia reperfusion in which torsion comprises the ischemic period whereas detorsion occupies the reperfusion period which is the main cause of
