Title: Flame Test Aim: To determine the cation in each of the unknown substance X‚ Y and Z by observing the flame colour of different metal compounds. Introduction: A distinctive feature of many s-block metals is their ability to produce flame colours. At temperature of a Bunsen flame‚ a compound will decompose to give gaseous atoms of its constituent elements. When an electron in the gaseous atom absorbs energy from the flame‚ it will move from an orbital with lower energy to

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

Lab 1: Flame Test 11 Chemistry‚ university Preparation Conducted: September 20th‚ 2010 Purpose: To observe‚ and create a chart of the colours produced when solutions of known metal compounds are heated to high temperature. Question: What colours are produced when different metallic compounds are placed in a flame‚ and why this happens? Hypothesis/Prediction: Different salts will produce different colours when placed in a flame‚ due to the fact that each element has a different

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

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

11th D Flame Test Intro: The flame test is a procedure used by chemists to identify the presence of specified metal ions‚ based on the color the flame that appears along with it when it ’s heated. Our flame test was in lab class‚ where the main aim was to tested different solid metals in the flame in order to observe the wide variety of colors those chemicals also sometimes compounds (by mixing them) they produced‚ the second one was to identify unknown metals based on their flame color

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

INTRODUCTION Flame photometry‚ also referred to as ’flame atomic emission spectrometry ’ is a quick‚ economical and simple way of detecting traces of metal ions‚ primarily Sodium‚ Potassium‚ Lithium‚ Calcium‚ and Barium‚ in a concentrated solution. The process is an extension of the principles used in a flame test‚ with the main differences having more precision in the results‚ and the use of more advanced technology. This report focuses on the theory‚ applications‚ limitations and analysis of Flame Photometry

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
