バリウム炎色反応

黄緑色の炎でバリウムを同定する

Flame Tests Intermediate (High School) 20 分 ~$12.00

目的

バリウムイオンが生じる淡い黄緑色の炎を観察し、バリウム化合物に特別な安全対策が必要な理由を理解する。

背景

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.

安全上の警告

  • 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

材料

  • Barium chloride (BaCl₂) (0.5 g)
    Toxic — handle with care
  • Hydrochloric acid (HCl) (10 mL)
    1M concentration
  • Distilled water (50 mL)
    For cleaning

器具

Bunsen burner Nichrome wire loop Watch glass Forceps

手順

1

Put on nitrile gloves before handling barium chloride.

1 分 Barium compounds are toxic
2

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

2 分
3

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

1 分 Avoid skin contact
4

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

1 分
5

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

2 分
6

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

2 分

予想される結果

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.

後片付け

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