How does sodium oxide burn?
Sodium oxide does not burn itself, but it reacts with water or acids to produce sodium hydroxide and heat. This reaction is exothermic and can generate intense heat, enough to start a fire when sodium oxide comes in contact with a reactive substance.
How could the flame test be used to detect sodium chloride impurity?
Pure sodium chloride will burn and create a pure orange flame. If there are impurities present, you would see flickers or inconsistancies in the solid orange flame. Note, use a platinum wire to hold sample while burning, as a wooden split can cause these flickers if it starts to burn
What color does Na-Cl burn in a flame test?
Sodium chloride (NaCl) does not have a characteristic color when exposed to a flame test. Sodium compounds are usually identified by the strong yellow color they produce in a flame test due to the sodium ion.
What color does sodium iodide burn?
A strong yellow color, from sodium
Why the appearance and mass of sodium changes when it reacts with oxygen?
When sodium reacts with oxygen, it forms sodium oxide. The appearance changes because sodium oxide is a different compound with different properties compared to pure sodium. The increase in mass is due to the combination of the sodium atoms with oxygen atoms to form sodium oxide molecules.
What color does sodium chloride burn?
An yellow color, from sodium
What color does sodium chloride burn in a flame test?
Orangish yellow
What does sodium chloride produce on burning?
Sodium Chloride, common table salt, will not burn.
When you burn sodium oxide what colour does it turn?
When sodium oxide is burned, it typically produces a yellow flame.
How does sodium oxide burn?

Is salt inexaustible?
Sodium chloride doesn't burn.
How could the flame test be used to detect sodium chloride impurity?

Can you burn salt?
Yes. To burn a compound you need a halogen with a higher energy than the one in the salt. So if you put sodium chloride in a fluorine rich environment and apply a flame it will burn.
What color does chloride burn?
Depending on the metal in the chloride (Na, Ca, Sr, Li, ....).
What color does Na-Cl burn in a flame test?
Sodium chloride (NaCl) does not have a characteristic color when exposed to a flame test. Sodium compounds are usually identified by the strong yellow color they produce in a flame test due to the sodium ion.
How does sodium burn?
Sodium oxide (Na2O) is not burnable.In contrast: it just is produced when burning sodium (Na) with oxygen (O2)
What color does sodium burn?
yellow
