I presume you mean silver nitrate. A flame test detects only the metal ion in a compound. There isn't one for silver.


What flame color does aluminum nitrate produce?

Aluminum nitrate does not produce a specific flame color when burned. The flame color produced by a compound is typically due to the metal ion present, rather than the nitrate anion. Aluminum itself does not produce a significant color in flames.

Is silver nitrate a metal or nonmetal?

Silver nitrate is a compound that is composed of a metal (silver) and nonmetal (nitrate) elements. Silver is a metal because it is a good conductor of electricity, whereas nitrate is a nonmetal as it typically forms negative ions in chemical reactions.


What happens when each nitrate salt is put into the flame?

The color of the flame depends on the metal from the salt.


Why does dry sodium chloride and the solutions of sodium nitrate and sodium chloride impart the same colour to the flame?

The color (yellow) is due to the metal ion (sodium), the other element does not participate.


What color does sodium nitrate burn?

In a flame test , the sodium ion will produce a bright yellow flame. The nitrate ion does not produce a colour. Dissolve sodium nitrate in water. Then using a ni-chrome wire, clean it in hydrochloric acid, dip the clean wire intoi the solution. Then pass the wire through a bunsen flame. The pale blue flame, will become bright yellow. Different metal ions produce different flame colours. Lithium = red Potassium = lilac Copper = Blue/green


Is calcium nitrate a metal?

What is the flame color of silver nitrate?

Silver nitrate does not produce a flame color on its own. When silver nitrate is burned, it decomposes into silver metal, nitrogen dioxide gas, and oxygen, but it does not emit a characteristic flame color.


Why do you use a metal-nitrate in a flame test?

Metal nitrates are used in flame tests because they are easily converted into metal ions when heated in a flame. The metal ions then emit characteristic colors of light, allowing for the identification of the metal present based on the color produced.
