나트륨 불꽃 반응

밝은 노란색 불꽃으로 나트륨 확인하기

Flame Tests Beginner (Middle School) 15 분 ~$5.00

목표

나트륨 화합물을 가열할 때 나타나는 특징적인 밝은 노란색 불꽃을 관찰하고, 금속 이온이 특정 불꽃 색을 나타내는 원리를 이해한다.

배경

The sodium flame test is one of the simplest and most dramatic qualitative analysis techniques. When sodium ions are introduced into a flame, the thermal energy excites the 3s valence electron to the 3p orbital. As the electron returns to the ground state, it emits light at 589 nm, producing an intense and persistent yellow-orange color. This is the same emission responsible for the yellow color of sodium vapor street lamps.

안전 경고

  • Wear safety goggles at all times
  • Keep hair tied back near open flames
  • Handle HCl with care — avoid skin contact
  • Ensure proper ventilation

재료

  • Sodium chloride (NaCl) (1 g)
    Table salt works
  • 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 it in 1M HCl and holding it in the hottest part of the Bunsen burner flame. Repeat until no color appears in the flame.

2 분
2

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

1 분
3

Dip the clean nichrome wire into the HCl, then into the sodium chloride sample to pick up a small amount.

1 분
4

Hold the wire loop with the sample at the edge of the Bunsen burner flame and observe the flame color.

2 분 Keep face away from flame
5

Record the flame color observed. Note the intensity and persistence of the color.

1 분
6

Clean the wire again with HCl and repeat to confirm results.

예상 결과

A bright, persistent yellow-orange flame should appear immediately when the sodium chloride is introduced to the flame. The color is so intense that it can mask the colors of other metal ions present.

정리

Clean the nichrome wire loop thoroughly with HCl. Dispose of remaining chemicals according to lab protocols. Wipe down the work area.
