Why copper sulphate not used in flame test?
A.o.A it is the demand of flame test that salt should be easily vapourised as metalic chloride for this purpose we wet the given salt with acid (HCl) so that it change into chloride but copper cannot remove hydrogen(As Au,Ag,Pt) from acid so cannot changed into chloride and not used in flame test. but if there is chloride salt of copper it can be easily used for flame test with-out use of acid.....

In a flame test what color flame will barium chloride have?
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.
Why is it difficult to identify potassium ions and sodium ions in low sodium salt using a flame test?
When sodium is subjected to a flame test, it burns a bright yellow. This yellow flame can be brighter than the lilac flame color of the potassium, which makes it more difficult to distinguish between the sodium and potassium.

What color does calcium burn in a flame test?
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.

Is a driftwood fire blue and green?
Yes driftwood will burn if it's dry. Will produce pretty colours because of the chemicals added by the sea. However the salt content (in conjunction with heat) can cause problems with metal. It's safest to burn your driftwood on the beach - if allowed. Not a good idea to use lots of it in your metal wood burner or if you have a metal parts to your chimney. Caution! Dioxin is produced when salt water driftwood is burned. It's the byproduct of burning wood and sodium chloride (salt). Dioxin is a persistent toxin, doesn't biodegrade, rather it accumulates in the tissue of any animal that digests it.
