구리 불꽃 반응

청록색 불꽃으로 구리 확인하기

Flame Tests Beginner (Middle School) 15 분 ~$7.00

목표

구리(II) 이온이 나타내는 특징적인 청록색 불꽃을 관찰한다. 시각적으로 가장 인상적인 불꽃 반응 중 하나이다.

배경

Copper produces a brilliant blue-green flame due to emission from excited Cu2+ ions. When copper(II) chloride is used, the emission is enhanced because volatile CuCl molecules form in the flame, producing particularly vivid colors. The blue-green color of copper flames has been used in fireworks for centuries.

안전 경고

  • Wear safety goggles at all times
  • Copper compounds are toxic — do not ingest
  • Wash hands thoroughly after handling copper salts
  • Keep hair tied back near open flames
