火焰发射光谱分析

用分光镜和火焰定量鉴定金属

Qualitative Analysis Advanced (University) 60 分钟 ~$15.00

目标

用分光镜观察和测量不同金属离子在火焰中的发射谱线波长。

背景

While simple flame tests show color, a spectroscope reveals the discrete emission lines responsible for those colors. Each element has a unique set of emission lines (an atomic fingerprint). This experiment bridges qualitative flame testing with the quantitative science of atomic emission spectroscopy, demonstrating Bohr's model of the atom and the origin of spectral lines.

安全警告

  • Methanol is highly flammable and toxic — handle with extreme care
  • Do not look directly at the flame without the spectroscope
  • Keep all flammable materials away from the burner
  • Ensure good ventilation

所需PPE

材料

  • Metal salt solutions (0.5M) (5 mL each)
    Na, Li, K, Cu, Sr, Ca, Ba chlorides
  • Hydrochloric acid (1M) (20 mL)
    Wire cleaning
  • Methanol (50 mL)
    For solution flame method
  • Distilled water (50 mL)

设备

Handheld spectroscope or diffraction grating Bunsen burner Nichrome wire loops (7) Watch glasses (7) Spray bottle (for mist method)

步骤

1

Set up the spectroscope by viewing a fluorescent light to calibrate and identify the mercury emission lines as reference.

5 分钟
2

Clean a nichrome wire with HCl. Dip in sodium chloride solution and hold in the flame. View through the spectroscope and record the bright yellow emission at 589 nm.

7 分钟
3

Repeat with lithium chloride. Record the bright red emission line near 671 nm.

7 分钟
4

Repeat with potassium chloride. View through cobalt glass to filter sodium contamination. Record the violet emission near 766 nm.

7 分钟
5

Test copper, strontium, calcium, and barium chlorides in sequence. For each, record all visible emission lines and their approximate wavelengths.

20 分钟 Clean wire between samples
6

Compile an emission spectrum chart showing each element's characteristic lines. Compare with published spectral data.

预期结果

Each metal shows distinct spectral lines: Na at 589 nm (yellow doublet), Li at 671 nm (red), K at 766 nm (violet, visible through cobalt glass), Cu at 510–515 nm (green) and 325 nm, Sr at 461 nm (blue) and 606 nm (orange-red).

清理

Clean all nichrome wires with HCl. Dispose of metal salt solutions in inorganic waste. Rinse watch glasses.
