Thử Nghiệm Ngọn Lửa Kali

Nhận biết kali qua ngọn lửa tím/lilac

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

Mục tiêu

Quan sát màu tím/lilac của ngọn lửa do các ion kali tạo ra, và học cách sử dụng kính lọc màu xanh coban để phân biệt với tạp chất natri.

Bối cảnh

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.

Cảnh báo an toàn

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

PPE cần thiết

Vật liệu

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

Thiết bị

Bunsen burner Nichrome wire loop Watch glass Forceps

Quy trình

1

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

2 phút
2

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

1 phút
3

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

2 phút
4

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

2 phút
5

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

Kết quả dự kiến

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.

Dọn dẹp

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