리튬 불꽃 반응

심홍색 불꽃으로 리튬 확인하기

Flame Tests Beginner (Middle School) 15 분 ~$8.00

목표

리튬 이온이 나타내는 특징적인 심홍색 불꽃 색을 관찰하고, 다른 알칼리 금속의 불꽃 반응과 비교한다.

배경

Lithium produces a distinctive crimson-red flame when heated. The emission occurs primarily at 670.8 nm as the excited 2s electron returns to the ground state. Lithium compounds were historically used to produce red colors in fireworks before the introduction of strontium-based alternatives.

안전 경고

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

필수 개인 보호 장비

재료

  • Lithium chloride (LiCl) (1 g)
  • Hydrochloric acid (HCl) (10 mL)
    1M concentration
  • Distilled water (50 mL)
    For cleaning

장비

Bunsen burner Nichrome wire loop Watch glass Forceps

실험 절차

1

Clean the nichrome wire by dipping in HCl and heating until no color is visible in the flame.

2 분
2

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

1 분
3

Dip the clean wire into HCl, then touch it to the lithium chloride sample.

1 분
4

Hold the wire in the Bunsen burner flame and observe the characteristic crimson-red color.

2 분 Keep face away from flame
5

Record observations and compare with the sodium flame test if already performed.

1 분

예상 결과

A bright crimson-red flame should appear. The color is distinct from the red produced by strontium (which is more scarlet) and potassium (which is lilac/violet).

정리

Clean the wire loop with HCl. Dispose of chemicals per lab protocol.
