Flame Test Demonstration
1. Before the demonstration begins, record the atomic number of each element listed below.
2. During the demonstration, record the color of each flame.
3. After the demonstration, find the approximate wavelength of the light of the flame using the chart.
4. Use the speed of light to calculate the frequency. Be sure to convert the wavelength to meters before you put it in the equation.
5. Use the frequency and Planck’s constant to calculate the energy of the light.
6. Answer the discussion questions in detail.
|Metal Ion Tested |Atomic Number |Color of Flame |Wavelength (nm) |Frequency (1/s) |Energy (J) |
|Lithium | | | | | |
|Copper | | | | | |
|Calcium | | | | | |
|Sodium | | | | | |
|Barium | | | | | |
|Strontium | | | | | |
|Potassium | | | | | |
