a different color flame, will indicate the different levels of oxygen intake of the flame. when the flame is blue, it indicates that the flame has a very low amount of O2 in the gas which is trying to burn. And when the flame is RED, means that there is more oxygen available when it is burnt.
Atoms are surrounded by electrons that are in orbitals, or energy levels, around the nucleus. The electrons can be 'pushed' to another energy level but they always return to the energy level that is most stable or of least energy. Each atom has their electrons at slightly different energy levels, almost like finger prints for atoms.
It takes energy to push electrons into the next energy level but when the extra energy is removed the electrons return to their original orbit and release energy. That's what we see when the flames change color. You can even buy different solutions to put on the log to give you different colors.
Sodium is very common in living things and shows a yellow flame;
Copper shows a lovely apple green;
Potassium is purplish; and
Lithium is red.
The trouble is that sodium is so common and shows such a strong yellow flame it usually masks the other elements but occasionally we get a glimpses of them.
Scientists use the principal of "the flame test" to help them identify elements. Mass spectrometry analyses the wavelengths both visible and non-visible of light emitted from excited atoms. They use this information to determine the content of samples.
The hotter the flame, the less color (and light) given off. Bright, yellow flames are the result of carbon that has not been burned, where blue flames indicate a near total burning of the fuel. Other chemicals present in the wood can color flames- sometimes added for the appearance- red, yellow, blue, green.
Its comes from the dirty of the flame if its red its the dirty the blue is pure so that's it
A log is a mixture regardless of whether it is burning.
When a log is burning, it burns energy quickly; and when cellular respiration happens, it burns energy gradually.
There is one main product that is created when burning a log. This product is carbon dioxide and it comes from combustion.
Because burning a log in a fireplace involves a chemical change and sawing a log in half only reguires a physical change.
Yes.
Flame color is determined by the temperature at which the fuel is burning. They can therefore be many different colors. Nickel for example burns green. Even in the flame you see when burning a log, there is blue (and the obvious red yellow orange)
electron transitions in various atoms.

Put the log in, then a few pages from the Teen Novel to start it burning. Jump on the bellows (left side) three times to fan the flames.
Burning Log - TV program - was created in 1999.
Burning the log is a chemical change. All of the others are physical changes.
If you want to keep an olive log burning try putting olive oil on the log
There is one main product that is created when burning a log. This product is carbon dioxide and it comes from combustion.
Manganese (II) Chloride - pale yellow-green strontium chloride - red sodium chloride - bright yellow-orange lithium chloride - red copper (II) chloride - bright green calcium chloride - yellow-red boric acid - nothing
Yes.
