What color does Na-Cl burn in a flame test?
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.
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 chloride burn?
Depending on the metal in the chloride (Na, Ca, Sr, Li, ....).
Why do sodium oxide and sodium chloride burn the same color?
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.
What color does Magnesium chloride burn?
When Magnesium chloride is burnt in a Bunsen flame, it imparts no colour in the flame.
What color does sodium iodide burn?
A strong yellow color, from sodium
What color does sodium hydroxide burn in a flame test?
Bright yellow :: This is the sodium ions. Any sodium compound will give a flame test colour of yellow/
What color flame test does potassium chloride?
When flame tested, Sodium ions range from a yellow to a bright orange flame and Potassium ions give a lilac or light purple flame. Neither the Sulphate nor the Chloride ions should have emission spectra in the visible range.
Can you burn salt?
Yes. To burn a compound you need a halogen with a higher energy than the one in the salt. So if you put sodium chloride in a fluorine rich environment and apply a flame it will burn.
What color does sodium chloride burn?
An yellow color, from sodium
What colour flame do you get when you burn strontium chloride?
The flame test for strontium - a strong red color.
What color does chlorine burn?
No color. When burning chlorine, the flame gains no additional color from the chlorine. Examples of this may be found by burning Aluminum chloride or Magnesium chloride, both of which burn colorless. This means that Chlorine contributes no color to the flame.
