The purpose of the experiment, “Flame Test Lab”, is for one to determine if an element can be identified by the light they give off when inserted in the flame of a Bunsen Burner. The process of the experiment required extreme precaution, since Bunsen Burners were a key material. Students were given six elements to place within the flame of the Bunsen Burner. Lithium, calcium, potassium, copper, strontium, and sodium were all of the elements used during the process of the experiment. Before the experiment students were required to write a hypothesis. One could hypothesis that the metal elements will change color when put to the flame of a Bunsen Burner. By using a Nichrome loop dipped in distilled water, one out of 3-4 students in a group were asked to pick up a reasonable amount …show more content…
Using the Spectroscope, students recorded what color light the element gave off, according to the Spectroscope. After the element was burned, the data was recorded in a table. On the left side, the element/metal was listed Next, students wrote down the color of the flame the specific element gave off. Lastly, they were asked to mark the Spectrum of the metal. Metal elements, that are ions, generate a specific type of light when burned. In result of the experiment, the color of the flame given off by the specific type of metal differed, based off of the different physical properties of the metals. Because each metal element is different, the color of the flame, and the color of the light the element gave off contradicted. For example, the metal element, Lithium, gave off a red and yellow light, and the color flame that resulted was red. Potassium has an orange flame, and gave off a red, orange,blue, and violet light. The data shows how different the Spectrum was, compared to the color of the flame. As one could tell, the color flame of Potassium has a strange mix of colors for it’s
On September 13th, 1967 a fire took place in a church in Windrixville, there were some children playing in the church when it caught fire, there teenage boys saved their lives. There was a school picnic planned that day of the fire. Some of the students were disobeying their teachers. Those children were the ones in the fire. Three teenage boys showed up soon to become heroes.
Throughout Zac Unger’s memoir Working Fire the Making of a Fireman he struggles to find a place within the fire station and among coworkers. Unlike many of the fellow recruits who spent years preparing to become a firefighter, Unger an Ivy League grad simply responded to a bus stop ad. After realizing that most recruits were either former military, tradesmen or other firefighter’s kids Unger “Mostly I just stayed quite, tried to down play my existence. I figured if I could just make it through the academy without being called out as a fraud, I’d end up a firefighter like the rest of them”(Unger, 22-23). This distinction between Unger and the rest of the recruits was seen as something to be ashamed of, something to hide away.
Through out the history of the United States, a number of incidents and disasters have occurred to influence safety and protection. In the aftermath of these events, valuable lessons are learned and steps are taken to ensure nothing like that happens again. One such incident is the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, one of the most influential and horrifying incidents in United States history. The fact that both the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) and National Safety Council (NSC) trace their history back to this incident speaks to that. Sadly, the tragic events that unfolded during the Triangle fire were not surprising.
The book “Forged by Fire” by Sharon M. Draper is a book with many themes and lessons we all can learn. One of the themes that this essay will talk about will be about loyalty. For one thing, loyalty is a strong feeling because it’s something that comes from inside of a person to have faith in someone . We are all loyal to someone, someone who’s special in our lives and plays a major role in our lives that drags us to support them no matter what. In this book, Gerald gets abused by his drunk father.
I.6.2 Flamethrowers The first modern flamethrower, Flammenwerfer, was invented by German engineer Richard Friedler in 1901. These powerful weapons used pressurized air, carbon dioxide or nitrogen to push oil through a nozzle, which was ignited by a charge, producing a jet of flame. Flame throwers were mainly used to clear enemy soldiers from the trenches. Richard Friedler developed two types of flamethrowers – the smaller version Kleinflammenwerfer was a portable one carried by one person, and the larger version Grossflammenwerfer was suitable for transportation, also by a single person. From 1911 onwards, the German army deployed flamethrowers in three specialized battalions.
Ombre Hair 4 # 58 Fire Ombre This gorgeous and blazing color begins with a smoldering sable base which has been blended into a fiery ember orange. The edges have been dipped in rose gold which is also seen on a few babylights. This bright shoulder length hair looks lovely against her milky skin.
People should be accountable for their action because of their careless mistakes. For example, this person was to excited to go hike at the wilderness and have a good time. When he arrived he felt that he had everything he need for his hike. Later he got injured during his hike. He went through his bag to go check if he has anything to take care of it.
Gummi bears may not be obvious lab material, but in Mary Hershey’s chemistry class, they’re popular fodder for demonstrations. When they go up in flames, students are fired up—to the point of applause. Such displays help Hershey’s Chemistry 1 and Advanced Chemistry classes at State High understand concepts and connect with a challenging subject. “Just last week, we lit methane bubbles to teach them combustion,” Hershey said. “So you can teach chemical ideas through demonstrations, and when the demonstrations are in their head, you can draw on them to help teach and ask questions almost all year.”
Chemical compounds that are available to determine are CaCO3, CaCl2, Ca(NO3)2, mgCl2, MgSO4, KCl, HCl, HC2H3O2, KNO3, K2SO4, NaC2H3O2, Na2CO3, NaCl, Na2SO4, HNO3, H2SO4, HNO3, H2SO4, NH4Cl, (NH4)2SO4, K2CO3, 0.1 M AgNO3, 0.2 M BaCl, Mg(s), NaOH, and KOH. To start this experiment, start with the flame test by gathering a Bunsen burner and a Nichrome wire. Connect the Bunsen burner with a rubber tube to a laboratory gas. To prepare solutions for the flame test, weigh out 0.205 gram of Unknown Compound using an analytical balance and mixed it into a 140 mL beaker filled with 20 mL ionized water. Ensure that solid is completely dissolved using a stirring rod.

When the copper is heated, the flame of the bunsen burner changed from blue to green. The colour of the copper metal changed from a shiny reddish-brown colour to a dull gray-brown colour. When the magnesium is heated, it changed from a dull gray metal to a pale white colour. b) 2Mg (s)+ O2 (g) ----> 2MgO (s) Magnesium + Oxygen ----> Magnesium Oxide 2Cu (s) + O2 (g)----> 2CuO (s) Copper + Oxygen ----> Copper Oxide c)Copper
Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the different types of chemical reactions, those including Copper. There are different types of chemical reactions. A double displacement reaction is a chemical process involving the exchange of bonds between two reacting chemical species. A a decomposition reaction is the separation of a chemical compound into elements or simpler compounds and the single-displacement reaction is a type of
Introduction: This lab report discusses an experiment to study the difference in the burn rate of various colored candles. The objective of this experiment is to analyse the outcome of burning 5 different colored candles including white under the same control variable for 60 minutes. The white candles used in this experiment are pure and no chemicals or dyes are added to it. They are normally made from paraffin wax with a wick in the middle.
Spectra from different atoms have differing numbers of discrete spectral lines. The thickness of each spectral line also varies by atom. The number of spectra lines tends to increase as the number of electrons increase. Not all atoms emit each color. Spectral lines are considered a “fingerprint” for each atom, therefore each is unique.
For a fire to occur there is usually a combination of three major elements in use. These are; heat, fuel, and ignition. Fire hazards can be at our homes, outdoors and also at the workplaces. There are different types of fires. Class A fires normally involve solid materials which are normally organic substances, cloth, and plastics.
