In a flame test the copper ions in copper chloride will produce a 'blue/green' flame.

To test for metal ions, the flame colour in a flame test is indicative of the metal present.

Lithium = Red

Sodium = Yellow

Potassium = Lilac (pale purple).

There are many more flame test colours.

What color is the flame when you burn copper II chloride?

A: If you put a piece of copper wire on any type of flame (most preferably cooking flames), then you would observe that they produce a green color in the flame. Sometimes, it might give youa blue tinge but if it doesn't, it doesn't mean that there's something wrong with the copper you're using.


Why copper sulphate not used in flame test?

A.o.A it is the demand of flame test that salt should be easily vapourised as metalic chloride for this purpose we wet the given salt with acid (HCl) so that it change into chloride but copper cannot remove hydrogen(As Au,Ag,Pt) from acid so cannot changed into chloride and not used in flame test. but if there is chloride salt of copper it can be easily used for flame test with-out use of acid.....


What colour flame do you get when you burn copper chloride?

Burning copper chloride produces a green flame due to the presence of copper ions in the compound. The green color is a result of specific energy transitions within the copper ions when they are heated.


What flame colour does copper chloride give?

Flame colours depend on just the metal ion. All copper compounds give the same colour, green.


What colour of flame does sodium chloride produce when heated?

Sodium chloride does not produce a flame when heated. It simply melts into a liquid state and eventually vaporizes.


What color does chloride ion produce in flame test?

yellow Any color in solution; the flame test is for metals.


Can you predict the color flame when chlorides are heated?

When chlorides are heated, the color of the flame depends on the specific metal ion present. For example, sodium chloride typically produces a yellow flame, while copper chloride can produce a blue or green flame. The color of the flame is due to the excitation of electrons in the metal ions, which emit distinct wavelengths of light as they return to their ground state.


Which element creates blue color in fireworks?

Copper compounds, such as copper chloride or copper sulfate, are responsible for creating blue colors in fireworks. When these compounds are ignited, they emit a blue flame due to the energy released by the copper atoms.


Can we use copper wire in the flame test?

No, copper wire would not produce a distinctive color in a flame test. The flame test is typically used for metals that produce easily identifiable colors when burned in a flame, such as lithium (red), sodium (yellow), or potassium (purple). Copper does not exhibit this characteristic.


Why is there green flame when you burn magazines?

The green flame is likely due to the presence of copper in the ink used in the magazines. When copper is heated, it can produce a green flame.
