I presume you mean silver nitrate. A flame test detects only the metal ion in a compound. There isn't one for silver.

Selenium nitrate typically gives a pink or reddish flame color when subjected to a 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.


What is the color of the flame of barium nitrate?

The flame of barium nitrate typically produces a pale green color when burned. This green color is a characteristic flame test color for barium compounds.


What color does copper nitrate burn in a flame test?

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 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.


How can you test strontium nitrate ammonium carbonate and potassium sulfate?

To test for strontium nitrate, you can perform a flame test which will produce a red flame color. For ammonium carbonate, it will release ammonia gas when heated and form a white precipitate when reacted with a sodium hydroxide solution. Potassium sulfate can be identified by its solubility in water, as it is highly soluble.


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

Flame coloration is a test for the metallic ion. When a metallic ion is heated in a flame, it absorbs energy and then emits light at specific wavelengths, producing characteristic colors. The nitrate ion itself does not directly contribute to the color of the flame test.


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.


Strontium nitrate flame test?

When strontium nitrate is heated, it gives off a red flame due to the presence of strontium ions. This flame test is commonly used in chemistry to identify strontium compounds.


Is the flame colour a test for the metal or for the nitrate in each compound?

The flame color test is typically used to identify the metal present in a compound. When the compound is heated, the metal ions absorb energy and release it as light in different colors, which can help identify the metal present. Nitrate ions do not typically contribute to the flame color observed.


What color is the flame test for nickel?
