What color flame do you get when you burn sodium?

Sodium ions (Na+, from any sorium salt) produce an yellowish orange colored flame with wavelength averaging at a 589.3 nm (actually two dominant spectral lines very close together at 589.0 and 589.6 nm).


How could the flame test be used to detect sodium chloride impurity?

Pure sodium chloride will burn and create a pure orange flame. If there are impurities present, you would see flickers or inconsistancies in the solid orange flame. Note, use a platinum wire to hold sample while burning, as a wooden split can cause these flickers if it starts to burn


Why do sodium oxide and sodium chloride burn the same color?

Both sodium oxide and sodium chloride contain sodium ions which exhibit a characteristic yellow color when burned. This color comes from the emission of energy as the electrons in the sodium ions transition to lower energy levels. Thus, both compounds burn with a yellow flame.


Is sodium easily burn with a small flame in air?

Sodium is highly reactive with air and can ignite spontaneously. A small flame is not required to ignite sodium, as it reacts vigorously with oxygen in the air, resulting in a bright yellow flame and production of sodium oxide.
