yellow
A strong yellow color, from sodium
An yellow color, from sodium
Both sodium oxide and sodium chloride contain sodium ions which exhibit a characteristic yellow color when burned. This color comes from the emission of energy as the electrons in the sodium ions transition to lower energy levels. Thus, both compounds burn with a yellow flame.
Orangish yellow
Bright yellow :: This is the sodium ions. Any sodium compound will give a flame test colour of yellow/
Sodium chloride (NaCl) does not have a characteristic color when exposed to a flame test. Sodium compounds are usually identified by the strong yellow color they produce in a flame test due to the sodium ion.
Sodium ions (Na+, from any sorium salt) produce an yellowish orange colored flame with wavelength averaging at a 589.3 nm (actually two dominant spectral lines very close together at 589.0 and 589.6 nm).
The yellow color of the flame is due only to sodium.
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
The color of sodium in flame is yellow.
You don't burn off sodium as you do fat or carbohydrates. Rather you excrete it and other minerals in your urine.
Sodium Chloride, common table salt, will not burn.
