Why is it important to use a clean nichrome wire for each flame test?
Wiki User

The wire simply holds the sample in the flame.
Nichrome wire
has such a high
melting point
that the relatively low temperature of the burning flame won't drive any of the Ni or
Cr
atoms into the ionic state and interfere with the color of the ions in the compound which is adhering to the wire.

Can you predict the color flame when chlorides are heated?
Yes, but you need to know the metal of the chloride; each metal has a specific color in the flame test.
What function does each part of the candle have?
The function of the wax is to fuel the flame, it works with the air in a room or wherever the candle is and make the flame burn brighter, releasing the Good or bad- smell of the wax. The wick is made up of braided cord or string and it holds the flame, the tip of the string curls down toward the candle and that makes the flame burn at full capacity, the whole function, basically of the candle is to make the flame burn strong and bright.
Why are flame of different substance differ in colors?
when each substance burns, it releases different amounts of energy. this is shown in the colours they emit as the flame when burning. Very high energy is shown by the burning of a purple flame, and it goes down in the spectrum to red, which is the lowest energy flame colour. examples of these are: lithium-red sodium-yellow iron-gold copper-green/blue potassium-lilac
What happens when a flame heats a metal?
Metal molecules start oscillating faster against each other by increased amplitude.
Is the flame colour a test for the metal or for the nitrate in each compound?
for the metal present. copper is green, sodium is orange, etc.
Why is it advisable to use separate nichrome wires for each aqueous solution?
To prevent cross-contamination of the solutions.
5 What temperature does the blue flame range from?
When playing with different colored flames it is important to know how hot each color gets. A blue flame ranges from 2,600 to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit .
What happens when each nitrate salt is put into the flame?
The color of the flame depends on the metal from the salt.
Does a toaster have a resistor?
Look inside the toaster when it is toasting. The wires that go back and forth and glow red during toasting are resistors, there is one of these wire resistors on each side of each slot to provide the heat that does the toasting. The wire of these resistors is made of an alloy called Nichrome, made of Nickel and Chromium, that has relatively high resistance. Nichrome is also used in wirewound resistors in electronic devices.
What is a Tourism sector?
Tourism sector is a very important sector of each country. Each country should maintain their tourism spots neat and clean.
Which best explains why an electric toaster is considered a resistor?
A toaster uses a pair of rigid insulating sheets with nichrome wire winding back and forth across the sheet, one on each side of each slot. The nichrome wire on these sheets form very high wattage air cooled resistors, when electricity flows through these wires they glow red hot (see image above) producing the heat that toasts the bread from both sides.
When was Kiss Each Other Clean created?
Kiss Each Other Clean was created in 2011.
Can you predict the color flame when chlorides are heated?
Yes, but you need to know the metal of the chloride; each metal has a specific color in the flame test.
How do the Olympic games start each year?
Olympic flame lighting
Why is it important to wash your hands and clean your work area after each lab?
This is necessary to avoid accidents, cotamination, intoxication, damages to equipments, clothes, etc.
What must be attached to each carburetor on a gasoline inboard engine?
A flame arrestor. This prevents a backfire from igniting gasoline vapors in the engine compartment.
Is it a good thing if a rat grooms itself?
Yes. It's very important for rodents to groom themselves or each other, as it helps to keep them clean and healthy.
