If sodium was spray over a Bunsen burner flame you should observe a yellow-orange flame due to the presence of sodium ions.

What happens when astatine vapor is passed over heated metallic sodium?

When astatine vapor is passed over heated metallic sodium, the astatine will react with the sodium to form sodium astatide (NaAt). This reaction is a typical halogen-alkali metal reaction where the halogen displaces the metal from its salt. Sodium astatide is an ionic compound often used in medicinal imaging.


Which gas will be evolved if Sodium bicarbonate is added to a solution of Tartaric acid. How will you test this gas?

You should get carbon dioxide (CO2). Combining sodium bicarbonate to tartaric acid will yield water-soluble sodium tartrate and carbonic acid. Carbonic acid (H2CO3) will instantly decompose into water and carbon dioxide. Collect the gas, pour it over a lit candle flame. The flame will go out, proving that it's CO2. sodium bicarbonate and Tartaric acid together in dry form are baking powder.


If a beaker full of vinegar and baking soda is tilted over a lit candle with out spilling any liquid solution out then why does the flame go out?

When vinegar and baking soda mix, they react to form an gas called carbon dioxide (CO2) which is heavier than air. The flame needs oxygen (O2) to burn. When the beaker is tilted, it spills the heavy carbon dioxide gas over the flame and suffocates it.

When water is salted and boils overcausing the flame of the gas burner to turn bright orange .why?

This is due to the presence of sodium atoms in the salt (i.e. sodium chloride). The electrons orbiting a sodium atom can only occupy certain discrete energy levels. When they gain energy, for example when heated, they are excited and jump up to a higher energy level. However, the lower energy state is more favourable, and so the electrons lose this extra energy and drop back down. The energy is released in the form of photons (light), with the frequency (colour) of the light determined by the amount of energy. As the electrons can only occupy certain energy levels, only certain frequencies are produced, depending on the type of atom. In sodium's case, it is orange.
