When you burn lithium chloride, or any other lithium salt, you get a crimson flame, due to the positive lithium ions.
The heat from burning the substance excites the outer electrons of the lithium ions to higher energy levels, when they drop back to the ground state, energy is released as light, and the wavelength of that light corresponding to that drop is crimson, hence we see a crimson flame.
What else can I help you with?
What colour does Ferric chloride burn?
Ferric chloride burns with a blue/green flame.
What colour flame do you get when you burn strontium chloride?
The flame test for strontium - a strong red color.
What color flame do you get when you burn calcium chloride?
Calcium Chloride burns a deep orange with a slightly lighter orange core and has a light red glow at the top. The colour calcium chloride burns is described as brick red.
What is the chemical equation for lithium chloride burning red?
This is not chemical: when heated in a bunsen flame it does not 'burn', it is ionised in stead, hence emitting the red light spectral lines belonging to lithium ions. It is the same behavior of sodium salt when powdered in a gas flame, though the last effect is much more 'powerfull' yellow.
What colour flame do you you get when you burn magnesium chloride?
When magnesium chloride is burned, it produces a white flame. This is due to the high energy levels of the burning magnesium that emits visible light in the form of white light.

What colour flame do you get when you burn copper chloride?
Burning copper chloride produces a green flame due to the presence of copper ions in the compound. The green color is a result of specific energy transitions within the copper ions when they are heated.
