Медный пламенный тест

Определение меди по сине-зелёному пламени

Flame Tests Beginner (Middle School) 15 мин ~$7,00

Цель

Наблюдать характерное сине-зелёное пламя ионов меди(II) — один из наиболее эффектных пламенных тестов.

Предпосылки

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.

Предупреждения по безопасности

  • 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
