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 else can I help you with?
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.
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
Why does sodium chloride turn orange when on fire?
Orange fire proves that sodium is present in the compound
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
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.
What color does sodium chloride burn in a flame test?
Orangish yellow
What colour flame do you get when you burn sodium?
You get and orange - yellow colour.
What color flame test does sodium chloride give?
Sodium chloride does not impart a distinct color to a flame test. When sodium chloride is subjected to a flame test, it typically results in a bright yellow flame due to the presence of sodium ions, rather than the chloride ions.
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.
