Laboratorium Perbandingan Uji Nyala

Menguji beberapa logam untuk membuat grafik referensi warna nyala api

Flame Tests Intermediate (High School) 45 menit ~$25,00

Tujuan

Lakukan uji nyala pada enam garam logam yang berbeda untuk membuat grafik referensi warna nyala api khas untuk analisis kualitatif.

Latar Belakang

This comprehensive flame test lab tests multiple metal salts side by side, building a reference chart that students can use for unknown identification. By comparing the flame colors of lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, strontium, and copper directly, students develop the observational skills needed for qualitative chemical analysis.

Peringatan Keselamatan

  • Wear safety goggles at all times
  • Wear gloves when handling copper chloride
  • Handle HCl with care — avoid contact with skin
  • Keep hair tied back near open flames
  • Clean wire between each test to prevent cross-contamination

Prosedur

1

Prepare six labeled watch glasses, each containing a small amount of one metal salt.

3 menit Wear gloves for copper chloride
2

Clean the nichrome wire thoroughly by repeatedly dipping in HCl and heating until the flame shows no color.

3 menit
3

Test lithium chloride first. Dip wire in HCl, then into the salt, and hold in the flame. Record the crimson-red color.

3 menit
4

Clean the wire thoroughly. Test sodium chloride and record the bright yellow flame.

3 menit
5

Clean the wire. Test potassium chloride. Observe with naked eye, then through cobalt blue glass. Record the lilac/violet color.

4 menit
6

Clean the wire. Test calcium chloride and record the orange-red flame.

3 menit
7

Clean the wire. Test strontium chloride and record the scarlet-red flame.

3 menit
8

Clean the wire. Test copper(II) chloride and record the blue-green flame.

3 menit
9

Create a complete reference chart organizing the metals by flame color from red through yellow to green and violet.

5 menit

Hasil yang Diharapkan

A complete flame color reference chart: Li (crimson-red), Sr (scarlet-red), Ca (orange-red), Na (yellow), Ba (yellow-green if tested), Cu (blue-green), K (lilac/violet through cobalt glass). Each color should be distinguishable from the others.

Pembersihan

Clean the wire with HCl. Dispose of copper waste in the heavy metal waste container. Dispose of remaining salts per lab protocol. Clean and dry all watch glasses.
