The color of lithium in the flame test is red.
you make a solution of potassium nitrate and water and soak cotton rope in it and then let dry.
Silver nitrate doesn't burn.
Sadly not because the average weight of a banana is 118 grams and the average amount of potassium in a banana is 422 mg and that is not enough potassium for the banana to burn purple due to all of the chemicals that make up a banana
Potassium nitrate itself is a source of oxygen, and it is not flammable by itself. So in oxygen, even in a very high amount of it, nothing would happen. However, if any combustible substance is combined with potassium nitrate and ignited, it would burn.
Potassium nitrate itself is not flammable. Only when it is combined with something that has the potential to burn (sugar, wood chips, glycerin, etc), it can increase the flammability and burn rate of that substance.
Potassium.

Potassium nitrate doesn't burn The oxidation numbers of all of the elemnst are K +1, N +5 so they are as oxidised as they can get. Potassium nitrate was a constiten t of gun powder- it was a source of oxygen for the explosive combustion of the carbon and sulfur
The nitrate ion is the oxidizing agent in the compound without it you could not burn the chemicals and you could not produce a spectrum so there would be no emission of color
A lilac-violet color
A lila color, from potassium spectral lines.
Lilac to Purple-Red
Someone told me it burns blue or purple.
Potassium nitrate isn't terribly corrosive or poisonous or anything. It is an oxidizer, specifically a class 1 oxidizer. Potassium nitrate when mixed with something that could burn (sugar, paper, etc) increases the flammability of that product. But potassium nitrate alone isn't flammable.
