Normal flames are pretty much orange. So if you are seeing orange, you probably are not seeing the color you need to see. Sodium is a hard one to see sometimes on top of the orange color.

Why does a candle burn with a yellow flame?
Candle burns with a yellow flame because its an incomplete combustion. The temperature of the flame also relates to its colour and also the trace metal ions present will influence the flame colour.
What happens if sodium ion is sprayed over the flame?
If sodium was spray over a Bunsen burner flame you should observe a yellow-orange flame due to the presence of sodium ions.
What color does sodium hydroxide burn in a flame test?
Bright yellow :: This is the sodium ions. Any sodium compound will give a flame test colour of yellow/
What color is barium dichromate?
Due to the presence of transition metal ions i.e. Chromium(VI) ions
How can viewing flame through cobalt glass make it easier to analyze the ions being tested in a flame test?
no Yes it does; the blue cobalt glass filters out the yellow of the sodium to make the metal ion easier to see.
Why does a candle burn with a yellow flame?
Candle burns with a yellow flame because its an incomplete combustion. The temperature of the flame also relates to its colour and also the trace metal ions present will influence the flame colour.
What ions gives a bright orange flame test?
its either Na or Ca
What color flame test does potassium chloride?
When flame tested, Sodium ions range from a yellow to a bright orange flame and Potassium ions give a lilac or light purple flame. Neither the Sulphate nor the Chloride ions should have emission spectra in the visible range.
What color does copper nitrate burn in a flame test?
The colour of any sample containing copper ions burns with a bluish green flame in the flame test.
What colors do ions produce in flame?
Nickel (Ni) = Green Iron (Fe) = red/orange
Why is the flame test used?
To identify the presence of certain metal ions, such as sodium and caesium.
What color does CuCl2 burn?
CuCl2 does NOT burn per se. However, when CuCl2 is dissovled in water in to Cu^2+ ions and Cl^- ions. Pass a ni-chrome or platinum wire through the solution, and then pass the wire through a Bunsen Burner flame. The flame colour will becomes a beautiful Blue/Green colour.
What happens if sodium ion is sprayed over the flame?
If sodium was spray over a Bunsen burner flame you should observe a yellow-orange flame due to the presence of sodium ions.
What color does sodium hydroxide burn in a flame test?
Bright yellow :: This is the sodium ions. Any sodium compound will give a flame test colour of yellow/
Explain why you would or would not expect significant ionization in the flame?
If the test agent have free ions the ionization of the flame will be significant. When the energy reaches a point when it take more energy the flame ionization will not be significant.
What color is a copper compound when you burn it?
It depends on the compound. If the compound contains copper (I) ions, the flame is blue. If the compound contains copper (II) ions bonded to a halogen (F, Cl, I, Br, or At), the flame will be a blue-green color, and if the compound contains copper (II) ions and no halogens, the flame will be a deep green.Copper sulfate burns a light/sky blue colour.
What colour flame do you get when you burn lithium chloride?
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.
