पोटेशियम ज्वाला परीक्षण

बैंगनी/नीलम ज्वाला से पोटेशियम की पहचान

Flame Tests Beginner (Middle School) 20 मिनट ~$6.00

उद्देश्य

पोटेशियम आयनों द्वारा उत्पन्न बैंगनी/नीलम ज्वाला रंग का अवलोकन करें, और सोडियम संदूषण से इसे अलग करने के लिए कोबाल्ट नीले कांच का उपयोग करना सीखें।

पृष्ठभूमि

Potassium produces a pale lilac or violet flame when heated. The emission occurs at 766.5 nm and 769.9 nm (near-infrared/deep red doublet). Because the flame is quite faint and easily overwhelmed by sodium's intense yellow, cobalt blue glass is used as a filter to block sodium emission and reveal potassium's true color.

सुरक्षा चेतावनियाँ

  • Wear safety goggles at all times
  • Keep hair tied back near open flames
  • Handle HCl with care

आवश्यक PPE

goggles lab_coat

सामग्री

  • Potassium chloride (KCl) (1 g)
  • Hydrochloric acid (HCl) (10 mL)
    1M concentration
  • Cobalt blue glass (1 piece)
    For filtering sodium light

उपकरण

Bunsen burner Nichrome wire loop Watch glass Forceps

प्रक्रिया

1

Clean the nichrome wire thoroughly by dipping in HCl and heating.

2 मिनट
2

Place potassium chloride on the watch glass and collect a sample on the clean wire.

1 मिनट
3

Hold the sample in the Bunsen burner flame. Observe with the naked eye first.

2 मिनट
4

Now observe the flame through cobalt blue glass to filter out any sodium contamination.

2 मिनट
5

Record the difference in appearance with and without the cobalt blue glass filter.

2 मिनट

अपेक्षित परिणाम

Without the filter, you may see a faint lilac color possibly masked by yellow from sodium impurities. Through the cobalt blue glass, a clear violet/lilac flame should be visible as the glass absorbs the yellow sodium emission.

सफाई

Clean the wire loop with HCl. Return cobalt blue glass to storage.
