Barium chloride, or any other barium salt, should burn with a green flame.

When a barium salt is burned, the thermal energy is transferred to the outer electrons of the barium ions. They gain enough energy to excite them to a higher energy level. They then drop back to their ground state, releasing energy. This energy corresponds to a wavelength of light, which is emitted from the ion. This wavelength corresponds to green light, hence the green flame observed.

How do you identify Barium chloride?

Barium chloride can be identified by performing a flame test where it will produce a yellow-green flame color. Alternatively, it can form a white precipitate when mixed with a sulfate compound, such as sodium sulfate, due to the formation of insoluble barium sulfate. Additionally, using analytical techniques such as spectroscopy or chromatography can confirm the presence of barium chloride in a sample.


What is the color of the flame of barium nitrate?

The flame of barium nitrate typically produces a pale green color when burned. This green color is a characteristic flame test color for barium compounds.


How do you test for the presence of barium ion?

A simple qualitative test is the flame test: barium has a pale/apple green color.


What color does chloride ion produce in flame test?

yellow Any color in solution; the flame test is for metals.


What is the flame color of the compound sodium chloride when heated?

No, sodium chloride is a very stable compound


What color flame test does sodium chloride give?

Sodium chloride does not impart a distinct color to a flame test. When sodium chloride is subjected to a flame test, it typically results in a bright yellow flame due to the presence of sodium ions, rather than the chloride ions.

What color does Iron chloride turn in flame test?

Iron chloride does not produce a distinctive color in a flame test. It typically appears as a pale yellow-green flame due to the presence of the chloride ion rather than the iron ion.


What color does Iron (III) chloride turn in flame test?

Iron (III) chloride does not produce a distinct color flame during a flame test. This compound is typically used more for other chemical tests rather than flame tests for cation identification.
