اختبار لهب الباريوم

تعرف على الباريوم من خلال لهبه الأصفر المخضر

Flame Tests Intermediate (High School) 20 دقيقة ~$12,00

الهدف

لاحظ اللهب الأصفر المخضر الباهت الناتج عن أيونات الباريوم وافهم سبب الحاجة لاحتياطات أمان إضافية لمركبات الباريوم.

الخلفية

Barium compounds produce a pale yellow-green (apple-green) flame when heated. The emission is primarily from BaCl molecules formed in the flame rather than from atomic barium. Barium compounds are toxic and require careful handling, but the flame test itself uses small quantities safely.

تحذيرات السلامة

  • Barium chloride is toxic if ingested
  • Wear nitrile gloves when handling barium compounds
  • Wear safety goggles at all times
  • Wash hands thoroughly after the experiment
  • Do not eat or drink in the lab

المواد

  • Barium chloride (BaCl₂) (0.5 g)
    Toxic — handle with care
  • Hydrochloric acid (HCl) (10 mL)

المعدات

Bunsen burner Nichrome wire loop Watch glass Forceps

الإجراء

1

Put on nitrile gloves before handling barium chloride.

1 دقيقة Barium compounds are toxic
2

Clean the nichrome wire by dipping in HCl and heating until no color appears.

2 دقيقة
3

Place a small amount of barium chloride on the watch glass.

1 دقيقة Avoid skin contact
4

Dip the clean wire into HCl, then into the barium chloride sample.

1 دقيقة
5

Hold the wire in the Bunsen burner flame and observe the pale yellow-green color.

2 دقيقة
6

Record the color and compare with copper (blue-green) if previously tested.

النتائج المتوقعة

A pale yellow-green (apple-green) flame should appear. The color is less vivid than copper's blue-green and has a distinctly yellowish tint. It may be difficult to see in a well-lit room.

التنظيف

Clean the wire with HCl. Dispose of barium waste in designated heavy metal waste container. Remove gloves carefully and wash hands thoroughly.
