Is flame coloration a test for the metallic ion or for the nitrate ion?

flame coloration is a test for the Metallic ion because the metallic ions will enter an exited state and release photons energy, in the form of light, as they return to their ground state.

Test another salt with a different anion but the same cation. You will get the same flame color.

Why do you use a metal-nitrate in a flame test?
it doesnt change the color of the flame.
What color is the flame test for sliver nitrate?
I presume you mean silver nitrate. A flame test detects only the metal ion in a compound. There isn't one for silver.
What color flame test does selenium nitrate give?
Blue
What color does copper nitrate burn in a flame test?
The colour of any sample containing copper ions burns with a bluish green flame in the flame test.
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.
How can you test strontium nitrate ammonium carbonate and potassium sulfate?
A flame test.

Strontium nitrate flame test?
red. crimson.
Is there a way to test to see if it is potassium nitrate or ammonium nitrate?
Flame test. Dip a piece of platinum wire into concentrated nitric acid, and then roll it in the sample. Put the wire over a Bunsen flame. If a lilac flame is observed, it is potassium nitrate.

What happens to lead nitrate in a flame test?
It depends on the conentration, did a test today with several nitrates (incl. lead nitrate) and they were all yellow/orange...
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.
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.
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 does lithium nitrate burn?
The color of lithium in the flame test is red.
