钙焰色反应

通过橙红色火焰鉴定钙

Flame Tests Beginner (Middle School) 15 分钟 ~$5.00

目标

观察钙离子产生的砖红色至橙红色火焰,钙是石灰石、大理石和骨骼中常见的元素。

背景

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.

安全警告

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

所需PPE

材料

  • Calcium chloride (CaCl₂) (1 g)
    Common road de-icer
  • Hydrochloric acid (HCl) (10 mL)
    1M concentration
  • Distilled water (50 mL)
    For cleaning

设备

Bunsen burner Nichrome wire loop Watch glass Forceps

步骤

1

Clean the nichrome wire by dipping in HCl and heating until no color appears.

2 分钟
2

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

1 分钟
3

Hold the wire in the Bunsen burner flame and observe the flame color.

2 分钟
4

Record the brick-red to orange-red color and note how it differs from strontium and lithium.

2 分钟

预期结果

A brick-red to orange-red flame should appear. The color is less vivid than strontium's scarlet and more orange than lithium's crimson. Calcium's flame is moderate in intensity.

清理

Clean the wire with HCl. Dispose of chemicals per lab protocol.
