Кальциевый пламенный тест

Определение кальция по оранжево-красному пламени

Flame Tests Beginner (Middle School) 15 мин ~$5,00

Цель

Наблюдать кирпично-красное или оранжево-красное пламя ионов кальция — элемента, содержащегося в известняке, мраморе и костях.

Предпосылки

Calcium produces a distinctive brick-red to orange-red flame color. The emission results from electronic transitions in calcium atoms excited by the flame energy. Calcium is one of the most abundant elements in the Earth's crust and its flame test is a useful diagnostic tool in mineral identification.
