Why do dry sodium chloride the solutions of sodium nitrate and sodium chloride all impart the same color of the flame?
The (yellow) sodium color is the same in all.
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
What color flame does copper II Nitrate give?
green
What color does lithium nitrate burn?
The color of lithium in the flame test is red.
What effect does the nitrate ion have on the color of the flames?
None. Using flame spectral analysis, we can use a prism or other device to determine the color of various metals. Nitrate gives no color. The purpose of the test is to give metal detection, qualitatively. Testing for nitrate is another test, not involving flame.
Why do sodium chloride and sodium nitrate impact the same color of the flame?
The yellow color of the flame is due only to sodium.
Why do sodium chloride and the solutions of sodium nitrate and sodium chloride all impart the same color flame?
The color is from sodium, not from Cl or Nitrate - NO3.
What color flame test does sodium nitrate give?
All sodium salts will give a yellow flame test, because of the metal sodium in the compounds.
Why do dry sodium chloride the solutions of sodium nitrate and sodium chloride all impart the same color of the flame?
The (yellow) sodium color is the same in all.

Can you do a flame test with NaCl in solid form or sodium chloride as an aqueous solution?
It is recommended to use the sodium chloride solution; the color in the flame test is yellow.
Test for sodium chloride?
If you have the solid of whatever your testing and you burn it (flame test) it will burn with an orange flame if sodium is present. To establish whether it is sodium CHLORIDE, ad a solution of what your testing to silver nitrate and it should form a white precipitate if it's sodium chloride.
What color is the flame of Strontium nitrate?
Strontium nitrate will turn a flame red
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 flame would cupric nitrate produce?
The flame color would be green.
What is the color of imparted flame of NaCl?
The color of sodium in flame is yellow.
Why do you use a metal-nitrate in a flame test?
it doesnt change the color of the flame.
