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.

Flame tests produce the same results on solids as they do on solutions. This is another way that we can identify precipitates. Calcium carbonate burns a yellow-red because the ion calcium burns this colour.
