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. Then using a ni-chrome wire, clean it in hydrochloric acid, dip the clean wire intoi the solution. Then pass the wire through a bunsen flame. The pale blue flame, will become bright yellow. Different metal ions produce different flame colours. Lithium = red Potassium = lilac Copper = Blue/green
What is the colour of copper metal after being placed in silver nitrate solution?
Silver shine
What flame colour does copper chloride give?
Flame colours depend on just the metal ion. All copper compounds give the same colour, green.

What are the colors of silver metal and copper nitrate in water?
The colour of silver metal in water is whiteThe colour of copper nitrate in water is blue (due to the Cu++ ion).
Why does dry sodium chloride and the solutions of sodium nitrate and sodium chloride impart the same colour to the flame?
The color (yellow) is due to the metal ion (sodium), the other element does not participate.
