When flame tested, Sodium ions range from a yellow to a bright orange flame and Potassium ions give a lilac or light purple flame. Neither the Sulphate nor the Chloride ions should have emission spectra in the visible range.

Why do potassium oxide and potassium chloride give off the same colour of light in a flame test?

Potassium ions are responsible for the characteristic violet color observed in flame tests. Both potassium oxide and potassium chloride contain potassium ions that emit the same color of light when heated in a flame due to the same electronic transitions in the potassium atoms.


What colour flame test do sodium sulphate and potassium chloride give?

well , the colour of potassium chloride is a lilac colour :) hope this helps


What color do you get when you burn potassium chloride?

A lila color, from potassium spectral lines.


Which metal reacts with water and burns with a lilac flame?

Potassium has a violet color in the flame test.


A test that can be used to determine whether a solution has potassium sulfate?

To determine if a solution contains potassium sulfate, you can perform a flame test. When a sample of the solution is heated in a flame, the potassium ions will emit a lilac flame color, which is characteristic of potassium compounds. This can help confirm the presence of potassium sulfate in the solution.


What chemical is burning when you see a violet purple flame?

When you see a violet-purple flame, it often indicates the presence of potassium compounds, such as potassium chloride or potassium nitrate. The specific element responsible for the color is potassium.


What metal burns with a lilac flame?

Potassium has a violet color in the flame test.


What color does chloride ion produce in flame test?

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


What is the flame color of the compound sodium chloride when heated?

No, sodium chloride is a very stable compound


What color flame test does sodium chloride give?

Sodium chloride does not impart a distinct color to a flame test. When sodium chloride is subjected to a flame test, it typically results in a bright yellow flame due to the presence of sodium ions, rather than the chloride ions.


What color flame test does ammonium chloride give?

NH4Cl should not have an impact on a flame thus will emit a orange/yellow glow.


What is the result with iron II chloride in the test flame?

Iron has a yellow-gold color in the flame test.
