How could the flame test be used to detect sodium chloride impurity?
Pure sodium chloride will burn and create a pure orange flame. If there are impurities present, you would see flickers or inconsistancies in the solid orange flame. Note, use a platinum wire to hold sample while burning, as a wooden split can cause these flickers if it starts to burn
What color does sodium nitrate burn?
In a flame test , the sodium ion will produce a bright yellow flame. The nitrate ion does not produce a colour. Dissolve sodium nitrate in water.
