Thử Nghiệm Ngọn Lửa Đồng

Nhận biết đồng qua ngọn lửa xanh lam-xanh lục

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

Mục tiêu

Quan sát ngọn lửa xanh lam-xanh lục đặc trưng do các ion đồng(II) tạo ra, một trong những thử nghiệm ngọn lửa ấn tượng nhất về mặt hình ảnh.

Bối cảnh

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.

Cảnh báo an toàn

Kết quả dự kiến

A vivid blue-green to green flame should appear. The color is one of the most distinctive and easily recognized of all flame tests. The flame may show different shades as the copper compound volatilizes.

Dọn dẹp

Clean the wire with HCl. Dispose of copper compound waste in designated heavy metal waste container. Wash hands thoroughly.
