Flame Test Demo I FLAME TEST DEMO I. PURPOSE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND COLOR SPECTRUM BY IDENTIFYING SUBSTANCES WITH A FLAME TEST BACKGROUND MATERIALS CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY THE COLOR OF THE FLAME THAT THEY PRODUCE WHEN BURNED. ELEMENTS ARE THE UNITS FROM WHICH ALL MATTER IS MADE. ELEMENTS ARE LOCATED ON THE PERIODIC TABLE. SUBSTANCES CAN BE TESTED TO DETERMINE THEIR COMPOSITION. FLAME TESTS ARE USED TO ANALYZE WHAT IS IN A SUBSTANCE. THE FLAME TEST DETERMINES THE TYPE OF METAL OF AN IONIC SALT THAT IS PRESENT. THE NUMEROUS METALS BURN DIFFERENT COLORS. THE SPECIFIC COLOR INDICATES WHAT METAL IS PRESENT, JUST LIKE A FINGERPRINT OR DNA TEST IS USED TO DETERMINE THE EXACT PERSON. THE FLAME COLOR MAY BE SIMILAR, BUT NO 2 ELEMENTS BURN THE SAME EXACT COLOR. SPECTROSCOPY CAN BE USEFUL IN HELPING SCIENTISTS UNDERSTAND HOW AN OBJECT LIKE A BLACK HOLE OPERATES, HOW AN ACTIVE GALAXY PRODUCES LIGHT, HOW FAST A GALAXY IS MOVING, AND OF WHAT ELEMENTS A STAR IS MADE. THE COLORS OF FIREWORKS COME FROM THE BURNING OF METALLIC SALTS. ORIGINALLY, ONLY 2 COLORS WERE USED. IN 1630, 1 COLOR WAS ADDED. BY THE 1850’s, FORMULAS FOR THE COLORS USED IN FIREWORKS WERE CREATED. MANY OF THE SALTS ARE STILL BEING USED TODAY. FIREWORKS WERE NOT THE ONLY USE FOR THE COLORS EMITTED BY THESE SALTS. SCIENTISTS WERE USING FLAME TESTS TO OBSERVE THE COLORS GIVEN OFF WHEN A CHEMICAL IS BURNED AND CONSEQUENTLY IDENTIFY THE MATERIAL. COMPOUNDS CAN ALSO BE IDENTIFIED. SODIUM CHLORIDE BURNS YELLOW, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE BURNS PURPLE, AND LITHIUM CHLORIDE BURNS RED. ELECTRONS CAUSE THE DIFFERENT COLORS THAT ARE OBSERVED WHEN MATERIALS ARE BURNED. ELECTRONS ARE SUBATOMIC PARTICLES THAT MAKE UP ATOMS. WHEN AN ATOM IS HEATED THE ELECTRONS JUMP INTO A HIGHER ENERGY LEVEL. THE ELECTRON ABSORBS ENERGY. LATER, THE ELECTRON WILL FALL BACK INTO ITS PREVIOUS ENERGY LEVEL AND RELEASES ENERGY. THIS RELEASED ENERGY IS IN THE FORM OF COLORED LIGHT. DIFFERENT ATOMS EMIT DIFFERENT COLORS OF LIGHT. TODAY SCIENTISTS OBSERVE BURNING STARS TO DETERMINE THE SUBSTANCES THAT MAKE UP THE STAR. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A STAR IS BURNING BRIGHT RED, IT MIGHT CONTAIN A HIGH LEVEL OF STRONTIUM. THE DATA TABLE LISTS ELEMENTS AND COMPOUNDS AS WELL AS THE COLOR OF THEIR RESPECTIVE FLAME.

  • Flame Test Prelab
    Flame Test Prelab Background information: Atoms (really, the electrons in atoms) gain packets of energy, and use this energy to reach "excited states." The packets of energy that different atoms pick up, have values that are unique to each element. These packets are called "quantum" packets, or "quanta" (plural). As we saw in the Ring of Truth movie, atoms are particular with their energy requirements - they only respond to particular energy packets given to them, ignoring the rest. When an electron in an atom gains a packet of energy, equal to the difference between two energy states of that electron, the electron absorbs that energy packet, and rises to that higher energy state - but only for a very brief period of time. The "excited-state" electron very quickly re-emits that very same energy packet it just absorbed (we see this energy packet as photons of a single color of light), and returns to the "ground state" - its non-excited energy state. In this lab, we will subject a series of metal ions (positively-charged metal atoms) to a flame test. The purpose will be to use flame test results to identify an unknown metal ion. The metal ions we will test are: sodium (Na+) barium (Ba+2) copper (Cu+2) potassium (K+) strontium (Sr+2) lithium (Li+) a mixture of Na+ and K+ calcium (Ca+2) an unknown sample In a flame test, the ions are provided energy via a Bunsen burner flame, and the most prominent packet of energy (within the visible spectrum) absorbed by each atom is recorded visually.

  • Lab: Flame Test
    Lab: Flame Test Main Idea: Whoops!!! You’re crazy teacher got her chemicals mixed up. It’s your job to help her figure out which is which. This is what we know: 1. All of the chemicals are salts. A salt is any compound made of Element Color chloride (a halogen) and an element from groups 1 and 2 on the Barium Yellow-green periodic table (Alkali & Alkaline Earth metals). Calcium Orange-red 2. Some chemicals can be identified by the flame they produce. All Copper Blue-green of these compounds are flammable, meaning they burn. The different Lithium Crimson Red colors of the flames are the results of burning these different Potassium Pale Violet compounds. Sodium Yellow 3. The table to the right lists some chemicals and the colors they Strontium Red produce. Materials: small beaker aluminum foil for candle wax paper towels safety glasses for everyone candle 7 small vials of different salts 4 wood splints Safety First! 1. You must wear goggles at all times during the lab – these chemicals sizzle! 2. Do NOT touch the chemicals with your skin or clothing. If you do, wash immediately. 3. Keep hair tied back and sleeves rolled up. 4. Pay attention to what you are doing and to those around you. Lab Procedures: 1. Read the following directions, #2 - 10, with your group before starting. 2. Fill your beaker with water and place your candle on the foil. 3. Raise your hand to begin. Your teacher will light the candle. 4. Choose one vial of “salt” from the collection.

  • Experiment 16 - Line Emission Spectra and Flame Tests
    Experiment 16 - Line Emission Spectra and Flame Tests When elements are heated, the electrons in that element are excited to higher energy levels. These electrons are unstable in their excited state, and they release their excess energy by falling back down to lower energy levels, giving off light in the process. The wavelengths of light given off correspond to the energy changes that the electrons undergo. ∆Eelectron = Ephoton = hυ = hc/λ Each element has a different emission spectrum, because each element’s electrons have different energy levels and different spacings of those energy levels. In this experiment the spectra of a number of elements will be generated in two ways: by heating in a burner flame, and by electric discharge in a sealed glass tube. The objects of this lab are: 1. To observe the color of light emitted when a sample of a chemical is heated, and to use this color as a means of identifying a few positive ions; 2. To observe the emission spectra of gaseous elements in discharge tubes. In the emission spectrum, the wavelengths of light are separated from each other using a spectroscope, which works much like a prism works to separate white light into a rainbow of colors. Part 1 - Flame Tests In this part of the experiment, different solutions containing metal ions are heated in a burner flame. The flame excites the electrons in these metal ions to higher energy levels. As the excited electrons fall back down to lower energy levels, they give off light of specific wavelengths. A number of different wavelengths (each with a different color) are emitted in each case, but without a spectroscope to separate the wavelengths, the eye merely sees them as a single color.

  • Sc13a Transition Metals • Most Metals Are Transition Metals
    SC13a Transition Metals • Most metals are transition metals. • The metals used in the home are typically transition metals such as copper and iron. • Most transition metals have high melting and boiling points and form coloured compounds. • Transition metals are in the central block of the periodic table. SC13a Questions on Transition Metals • Where would you find the transition metals? • Would transition metals have high or low melting points? • Transition metals form compounds that are ……………. • Give a use of a transition metal and suggest why it has been chosen for this purpose. SC13b Corrosion SC13b Corrosion - question How does painting a metal prevent it from corroding? Evaluate the suitability of sodium for the sacrificial protection of an off shore oil rig . SC13c Electroplating • Electroplating • Electroplating is when a thin coat of valuable (or unreactive) metal is applied to a cheaper (more reactive) metal. • Silver and Gold are metals that are commonly used for electroplating. SC13c Electroplating Questions • What is electroplating? • How is electroplating done? • Suggest two reasons that explain why a gold medal may consist of silver electroplated with gold. SC13d/e Uses of metals and their alloys Alloys Many metals are mixed with small amounts of other metals to improve their properties for a particular use and such a mixture of metals is called an alloy. Converting pure metals into alloys often increases their strength: In a pure metal structure all the atoms are the same size and are packed closely together in a regular arrangement. When a force is applied, the layers of atoms slide over each other, making the metal soft In an alloy each metal in the mixture has different sized atoms and when force is applied, the atoms can’t slide past each other as easily so the alloy is harder and stronger.

Noria Alta, Guanajuato C.P. 36050, Mexico 2 Instituto de Química, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Av. Universidad 3000, Ciudad Universitaria, Ciudad de México 04510, Mexico * Correspondence: [email protected] (M.C.-C.); [email protected] (A.M.) Received: 22 June 2019; Accepted: 22 July 2019; Published: 24 July 2019 Abstract: The origin of life from the chemical point of view is an intriguing and fascinating topic, and is of continuous interest. Currently, the chemical elements that are part of the different cellular types from microorganisms to higher organisms have been described. However, although science has advanced in this context, it has not been elucidated yet which were the first chemical elements that gave origin to the first primitive cells, nor how evolution eliminated or incorporated other chemical elements to give origin to other types of cells through evolution. Calcium, barium, and strontium silica-carbonates have been obtained in vitro and named biomorphs, because they mimic living organism structures. Therefore, it is considered that these forms can resemble the first structures that were part of primitive organisms. Hence, the objective of this work was to synthesize biomorphs starting with different mixtures of alkaline earth metals—beryllium (Be2+), magnesium (Mg2+), calcium (Ca2+), barium (Ba2+), and strontium (Sr2+)—in the presence of nucleic acids, RNA and genomic DNA (gDNA).

  • Flame Tests (Wooden Splint Method) Teachers Have Traditionally Used Nichrome Wire for Carrying out Flame Tests
    Flame tests (wooden splint method) Teachers have traditionally used nichrome wire for carrying out flame tests. The main problems with this method are: - the need to use concentrated hydrochloric acid (Corrosive, Respiratory irritant). This presents considerable hazard that often deters teachers from using the procedure with students, - the problem of contamination of wires which are then difficult to clean, - the cost of regularly renewing wires. Lesson organisation The method described in this experiment is intended for students to carry out and avoids the need for the use of concentrated hydrochloric acid. It also avoids the cost and contamination problems associated with the use of nichrome or platinum wires. A circus arrangement for the procedure would make classroom management much easier than if every group of students have to collect and test all the solutions at their own workstation. The time taken will depend on the number of tests to be carried out, but 30 minutes should be sufficient. Apparatus and chemicals • Eye protection • Bunsen burners • Heat resistant mat(s) • Boiling tube racks • Boiling tubes • Wooden splints • Distilled water A selection from solutions of the following salts 0.5 mol dm-3 Lithium chloride solution (Low hazard) (see Technical notes) 0.5 mol dm-3 Sodium chloride (Low hazard) 0.5 mol dm-3 Potassium chloride (Low hazard) (see Technical notes) 0.5 mol dm-3 Rubidium chloride (Low hazard) 0.5 mol dm-3 Caesium chloride (Low hazard) 0.5 mol dm-3 Calcium chloride (Low hazard) 0.5 mol dm-3 Strontium chloride (Causes eye damage) 0.1 mol dm-3 Barium chloride (Low hazard at this concentration) 0.5 mol dm-3 Copper chloride (Harmful, Danger to the environment) Technical notes Wear eye protection.

But how are the formu- las of chemical compounds established? One method involves determining the relative amount by weight of each element in the compound. For example, let’s say you raid an illegal drug lab and find a white powder that you suspect is cocaine. When you heat 1.00 g of the white powder, it decomposes into 0.40 g of carbon (C, M = 12.01 g/mol) and 0.60 g of water (H2O, M = 18.02 g/mol). The number of moles of carbon in the sample is ⎛ 0.40 g C⎞ ⎛ mol C ⎞ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ = 0.033 mol C ⎝ ⎠ ⎝ 12.01 g C⎠ and the number of moles of water in the sample is ⎛ 0.60 g H2O⎞ ⎛ mol H2O ⎞ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ = 0.033 mol H2O ⎝ ⎠ ⎝ 18.02 g H2O⎠ There is one mole of carbon per mole of water in the sample.
