Why dip the wire in 6 M HCI before performing a flame test for each cation?

The HCl converts any contaminated impurities to the corresponding chlorides, which are more volatile and easily vaporized. That way, they are vaporized more easily and quickly in that flame, allowing the cation to create the correct color flame without contamination.

Is magnesium anion or cation?
i don't know go back to school:) it's a cation!
How is the cation Ion formed?
A CATION is a positively charged ion . e.g. Na^(+) The sodium metal has IONISED by losing one electron to form the CATION. (Na^(+)). Similarly calcium metal ionises by losing two electrons to form the CATION Ca^(2+). NB An ANION is a NEGATIVELY charged ion e.g. Cl^(-) Cations and Anions are collectively known as 'Ions'. So your statement 'Cation ion' is incorrect. You just need the word 'cation'.
Where is the Olympic torch lit each games?
Olympia, Greece, home of the original Olympic games.
What is the charge of the cation in PbCrO4?
Pb 4+ You can tell it is a 4 + charge because it has 4 chlorine attached to it and they are 1 - each, being a halogen.
