Flame tests are often used to identify metals and other substances, such as sodium. If you expose the element sodium to flame, it will give off a bright, vibrant yellow color.
No. Sodium hydroxide and HCl will give sodium chloride (NaCl or common salt). Of course, either one on its own can kill you.
Glacial acetic acid reacts with sodium hydroxide to give sodium acetate and water CH3COOH + NaOH = CH3COONa + H2O
when sodium comes in contact with water,it results in an exothermic reaction to give sodium hydroxide.
The elements contained in this molecule are not able to give a color in the flame.
Bright yellow :: This is the sodium ions. Any sodium compound will give a flame test colour of yellow/
The yellow color of the flame is due only to sodium.
All sodium salts will give a yellow flame test, because of the metal sodium in the compounds.
Pink
Sodium chloride (salt) gives a yellow-orange flame result.

None.
It is not the anions (e.g. iodide) that are responsible for the flame test color, rather the cations such as sodium ion, potassium ion and calcium ion give you different colors.
There would be electron transitions in sodium atoms while the flame test. The majority of them would emit photons which would have same energy and frequency corresponding to yellow color.
sodium gives off an orange to yellow flame colour
Because the color is due to the sodium. All of them have sodium, all of them give the same color. Technically nitrogen, oxygen, and chlorine have spectral lines as well; it's just that sodium's are much more prominent.
