Answer:
The nichrome wire is dirty.
The solution is contaminated.
Explanation:
If the nichrome wire is dirty, it may contain sodium contaminants which may be responsible for the yellow flame. The nichrome wire is first inserted into the flame without the sample to check for impurities.
The test solution may also have been contaminated. This leads to the appearance of a colour different from the expected colour of the test cation in the solution.
Answer:
Ca^2+
Explanation:
As we know, more energy is required to remove an electron from a positively charged ion than is required to remove an electron from a neutral atom. Hence, the second ionization energy of calcium is greater than its first ionization energy.
However, the third and fourth ionization energies of calcium are much higher than the second ionization energy because they involve removal of electrons from an inner filed shell. This process requires a lot of energy and is often not feasible.
Hence, the most common ion of calcium must be Ca^2+ where only two electrons are removed from calcium.
Answer:
Blue
Explanation:
Blue would have the longest wave length because following ROY G BIV the wave length distance between the two decreases as you move from Red to Violet.
Answer: yes they are the same
