What color is a copper compound when you burn it?

It depends on the compound. If the compound contains copper (I) ions, the flame is blue. If the compound contains copper (II) ions bonded to a halogen (F, Cl, I, Br, or At), the flame will be a blue-green color, and if the compound contains copper (II) ions and no halogens, the flame will be a deep green.Copper sulfate burns a light/sky blue colour.


Why does cupric nitrate burn green?

Cupric nitrate burns green because copper ions emit a green flame when they are heated. This phenomenon is due to the excitation and subsequent de-excitation of electrons in the copper atoms, producing green light.


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 silver nitrate explosive?

No, sugar, silver nitrate is not explosive. It's a compound commonly used in chemistry labs for various purposes like silver staining, photography, and even in medicine. Just be careful with it, don't go throwing it around like confetti at a party.


What color would Potassium nitrate burn?

Potassium nitrate typically produces a purple flame when burned.

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 does the element copper feel like?

Copper has a specific red colour, is not hard and is very malleable.


How do you distinguish between Rubidium Nitrate and Strontium Nitrate?

If you burn Rubidium Nitrate, it will be violet-red. Strontium Nitrate will burn as a very bright, distinct red. Both of these chemicals are used in making fireworks these colors. Hope this helps!


Does copper metal burn?

Yes, at a high enough temperature Copper will burn and combine with Oxygen to form Copper oxide.

Does sodium nitrate burn in an oxygen free atmosphere?

No, sodium nitrate does not burn in an oxygen-free atmosphere because combustion requires oxygen to support the chemical reaction that produces heat and light. Without oxygen, there is no source for the combustion reaction to occur.
