Is there a relationship between the color of the flame and the color of the solution in a flame experiment?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what you mean by "the presence of a solution." If the metal is simple dissolved in water (in the form of a metal salt for instance), than no, the flame test will still work fine. If you mean that there are other things present in the solution, then each element will still make the same color in the flame, but because the mixture of elements will provide a mixture of colors, it will be quite difficult to determine what is present in the mix (especially because of the way colors can combine to give new colors).

Answer 2

The colours of solutions are in no relation to the colours of the emitted light when these solutions are nebulized and led into the flame.

The colour of the solution is a result of the absorption of visible light, thus it's a subtractive colour. Electrons absorb a specific part of the visible (day-)light, and the part, that is not absorbed, shines through or is scattered. This results in a visible colour.

The emitted colour of a flame is a result of the emission of the contained elements, thus it is an additive colour. Electrons are excited by absorption of the heat of the flame. When they fall back into their non-excited state, they emit the absorbed energy in form of visible light.

As a result, the cause for the mentioned colour effects of solution and flame is completely different, and thus, independent.

Each line corresponds to a color in the spectrum. The lines were produced by letting the light pass through a slit and then a prism (or diffraction grating.) The prism bends different colors by different amounts, thus separating the colors. This way we can identify the different colors that the metals made in the flame test.

When you look directly at the color produced by the flame test, you are seeing a combination of all the colors that the metal produced, just as white light is a combination of all the colors of the rainbow.

The combination of colors produced by various metals can often be distinguished by eye by a trained observer. But if there is any doubt the spectrograph is more reliable. A spectrograph is very useful if there is a combination of metals producing the color.

Answer 4

electromagnatic spectrum are waves in order of wavelength or frequency

Answer 5

protons and electrons are nuclear elements , when tried to combine ina flame test it will explode.

Answer 6

Visible light is a small section in the electromagnetic spectrum.
