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

目标

观察钠化合物加热时产生的特征亮黄色火焰，理解金属离子如何产生特定焰色。

背景

The sodium flame test is one of the simplest and most dramatic qualitative analysis techniques. When sodium ions are introduced into a flame, the thermal energy excites the 3s valence electron to the 3p orbital. As the electron returns to the ground state, it emits light at 589 nm, producing an intense and persistent yellow-orange color. This is the same emission responsible for the yellow color of sodium vapor street lamps.

安全警告

  • Wear safety goggles at all times
  • Keep hair tied back near open flames
  • Handle HCl with care — avoid skin contact
  • Ensure proper ventilation

所需PPE

材料

  • Sodium chloride (NaCl) (1 g)
    Table salt works
  • 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 it in 1M HCl and holding it in the hottest part of the Bunsen burner flame. Repeat until no color appears in the flame.

2 分钟
2

Place a small amount of sodium chloride on the watch glass.

1 分钟
3

Dip the clean nichrome wire into the HCl, then into the sodium chloride sample to pick up a small amount.

1 分钟
4

Hold the wire loop with the sample at the edge of the Bunsen burner flame and observe the flame color.

2 分钟 Keep face away from flame
5

Record the flame color observed. Note the intensity and persistence of the color.

1 分钟
6

Clean the wire again with HCl and repeat to confirm results.

2 分钟

预期结果

A bright, persistent yellow-orange flame should appear immediately when the sodium chloride is introduced to the flame. The color is so intense that it can mask the colors of other metal ions present.

清理

Clean the nichrome wire loop thoroughly with HCl. Dispose of remaining chemicals according to lab protocols. Wipe down the work area.
