· Analysis of industrial water, natural water for determining elements responsible for hard water (magnesium, barium, calcium etc.) is standard procedure in many laboratories.

· In glass industry, flame photometry is used in determining of sodium, potassium, boron, lithium etc.

· In cement industry, this method is used in estimation of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, as well as lithium.

· Analysis of ash by flame photometer is routinely carried out in various industries for estimating alkali and alkaline earth metals as their oxides.

· Flame photometry is extensively used in estimation of alkali-alkaline earth metals as well as other metals present in metallurgical products, catalysts, alloys etc.

· Flame photometry has also been used in determination of certain metals like lead, manganese, in petroleum products like gasoline, lubricating oils and organic solvents.

Why the sea water is diluted in flame photometry?

Because the sodium concentration is too high, out of the determination range of the instrument.


What is flame photometry?

flame photometry involves the determination of concentration of alkali and alkaline earth metals present in a sample based on the radiation emitted by it when the sample is atomized to a flame


Why transition metal can not be determined by a flame photometry?

Since the temperature isn't high enough to excite transition metals, the method is selective toward detection of alkali and alkali earth metals.


Chemical test can distinguish sodium carbonate form potassium hydroxide?

- use a flame test to distinguish between sodium and potassium - use flame photometry to determine sodium and potassium - heat sodium carbonate and collect the gas in a beaker with water: the gas released is carbon dioxide; see the bubbles. Measure the pH; it will be more than 7.


What are the three types of acetylene welding flames?

Mixing Acetylene and Oxygen in the correct proportions produces an extremely hot flame. Using just enough Oxygen so that the Acetylene is almost completely consumed in the flame is called a Neutral Flame. In most welding and cutting applications you would utilize this flame. Reducing the amount of Oxygen produces a Carburizing Flame. It is yellowish and not as hot as a Neutral Flame, but, is used in certain situations. Welding Aluminum is one. Increasing the Oxygen produces an Oxidizing Flame. It produces a flame that is pointed, colder, and louder than a Neutral Flame. It wastes fuel and isn't as efficient as a Neutral Flame.

Why cant the concentration of iron be detected by flame emission photometry?

Flame photometry can be used for the measurement of elements which can easily be excited like Ca, K, Na, Ba, Cu etc. However due to low temperature of flame the elements like Fe can not be excited and hence not measured using Flame photometry.

What would happen if a drop of a clear colorless solution was held in a flame?

NOTHING 2. If the fluid contained some element, e.g. sodium or calcium, then the flame would show the colour appropriate to that element. Flame photometry relies on this principle.
