When sodium ions are heated, electrons move from the ground state to the excited state, and because they are unstable in the excited state, they immediately return to lower energy levels in the ground state. As they do this, energy is released in the form of light. In the case of sodium, it produces orange light.

What color does sodium chloride burn?
An yellow color, from sodium
What does sodium chloride produce on burning?
Sodium Chloride, common table salt, will not burn.
Why does sodium chloride turn orange when on fire?
Orange fire proves that sodium is present in the compound
How could the flame test be used to detect sodium chloride impurity?
Pure sodium chloride will burn and create a pure orange flame. If there are impurities present, you would see flickers or inconsistancies in the solid orange flame. Note, use a platinum wire to hold sample while burning, as a wooden split can cause these flickers if it starts to burn
What is the mechanism of methyl orange in sodium carbonate and hydrogen chloride titration?
Methyl orange acts as a pH indicator in the process of sodium carbonate and hydrogen chloride titration. The addition of methyl orange will indicate the ratio of sodium carbonate to hydrogen chloride by the colour which develops.
What colour would sodium chloride produce in heat?
In a flame, sodium chloride produces a bright orange-yellow colour.
Is salt inexaustible?
Sodium chloride doesn't burn.
Will sodium chloride change Methyl orange yellow?
no
What color flame test does sodium chloride give?
Sodium chloride (salt) gives a yellow-orange flame result.
Can you burn salt?
Yes. To burn a compound you need a halogen with a higher energy than the one in the salt. So if you put sodium chloride in a fluorine rich environment and apply a flame it will burn.
Why do sodium oxide and sodium chloride burn the same color?
Because important is the metal (sodium) and his spectral lines.
When you burn sodium oxide what colour does it turn?
orange.
