Калиевый пламенный тест

Определение калия по сиреневому/фиолетовому пламени

Flame Tests Beginner (Middle School) 20 мин ~$6,00

Цель

Наблюдать сиреневый/фиолетовый цвет пламени ионов калия и научиться использовать кобальтово-синее стекло для отличия от примеси натрия.

Предпосылки

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.

Предупреждения по безопасности

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

Требуемые СИЗ

Материалы

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

Оборудование

Bunsen burner Nichrome wire loop Watch glass Forceps

Процедура

1

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

2 мин
2

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

1 мин
3

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

2 мин
4

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

2 мин
5

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

2 мин

Ожидаемые результаты

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.

Уборка

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