칼륨 불꽃 반응

라일락/보라색 불꽃으로 칼륨 확인하기

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

목표

칼륨 이온이 나타내는 라일락/보라색 불꽃을 관찰하고, 코발트 블루 유리를 사용해 나트륨 오염과 구별하는 방법을 배운다.

배경

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.

안전 경고

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

필수 개인 보호 장비

goggles lab_coat

재료

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

장비

Bunsen burner Nichrome wire loop Watch glass Forceps

실험 절차

1

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

2 분
2

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

1 분
3

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

2 분
4

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

2 분
5

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

2 분

예상 결과

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.

정리

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