How was flame testing used

Chemistry
1 answer:
PIT_PIT [208]3 years ago
6 0
The flame test is commonly used to identify different metal ions by how they get excited in the presence of a flame.
Typically a nichrome wire is dipped in a solution of metal cations and then presented to a flame. The flame emits a different color than normal, depending on the type of metal cation. Each metal ion gets excited by the flame and as the electrons change energy levels they emit a photon of light, thus changing the color. Since each metal cation has unique energy levels, the colors differ depend on the metal cation.

I hope this helps.

What evidence is there to suggest that the Earth is composed of tectonic plates?
Tema [17]

Answer:

All of these indicate plates exist and move.

Explanation:

  • The Ring of Fire, hot spots, and the locations of earthquakes draw a pattern on the surface of geologic activity underground.
  • Seafloor spreading is proof of tectonic plates because it increases the area of some oceans and decreases the area of others. Magma from the mantle pushes the plates apart.
  • The case of matching fossils in parts of South America and Africa is consistent with the theory that at one point the continents were joined together. According to seafloor spreading, the Atlantic Ocean is young and is still growing.
  • The same principle applies to mountain ranges now found on two continents that used to be on the same one. It is thought that the Appalachian mountains were connected to Europe and Africa.

Which component of air is remove when air is pass through aqueous sodium hydroxide?
nata0808 [166]
Answer:
            Carbon dioxide (CO₂) <span>of air is remove when air is pass through aqueous sodium hydroxide.

Detail:
          This method for capturing CO</span>₂ from air or from any other source was developed by two scientists names as Lackner and <span>Zeman. This methodology is very helpful from stopping CO</span>₂ to enter our atmosphere and result in Global warming. The reaction of NaOH with CO₂ is as follow,

                         2 NaOH  +  CO₂      →       Na₂CO₃  +  H₂O

This is a type of liquid gas reaction and evolves around 5.3 kJ/mol heat.
