Table Salt is Sodium Chloride, which reacts with a flame and turns it yellow.
When salt is sprinkled on a candle flame, the salt absorbs the heat, causing the flame to change color slightly and emit a bright yellow light. The salt also reacts with some of the wax vapors, creating additional colors in the flame, such as orange and blue.
To do a flame test on low sodium salt, first moisten a wooden splint with water and dip it into the low sodium salt. Then, heat the splint in a Bunsen burner flame and observe the color of the flame. The color produced can help identify any other metal ions present in the salt.
Unsalted! if its salted it burns with a greeny tinged flame
The metal ions in the salt are responsible for the flame color. When the salt is heated, the electrons in the metal ions absorb energy and jump to higher energy levels. As they return to their original state, they release energy in the form of light, which gives the flame its color.
Copper (II) sulfate is a salt that is green in color.
If you do not have a fire extinguisher, you want to smother the flame try salt or flour , not sugar it burns too easily. Or even a wet kitchen towel.
Barium chloride, or any other barium salt, should burn with a green flame. When a barium salt is burned, the thermal energy is transferred to the outer electrons of the barium ions. They gain enough energy to excite them to a higher energy level. They then drop back to their ground state, releasing energy. This energy corresponds to a wavelength of light, which is emitted from the ion. This wavelength corresponds to green light, hence the green flame observed.
orange I disagree - calcium burns Red I disagree with you're answer^ whoever said red... while it is true that calcium burns red, we are talking about a binary compound, not a single element. calcium chloride burns orange. You are being too general. Calcium Chloride burns a deep orange with a slightly lighter orange core. Just saying orange is not enough. Just tried it in my lab - the main color is Red -sorry It depends on the purity of the salt and the amount of organic particles present.
A fellow flame is produced when sodium is burned as a single element. Sodium as a compound :, baking soda, washing soda, and table salt also burns yellow .
all types of salt can dissolve in water. Anything containing Sodium (Na) is dissolvable in water. Tabel salt, or NaCl is an example of that.
Barium salts, such as barium chloride or barium nitrate, are commonly used to produce a green flame when burned. The green color is a result of the specific wavelength of light emitted by the barium ions during the combustion process.
The color of the flame depends on the metal from the salt.

The salt burns their sluggy skin.
Sodium Chloride, NaCl, or table salt. The reactive, valency one sodium combines with the also reactive gas chlorine, and they become an ionic compound.
Golden yellow
