Flame Test Lab

On block day, Wednesday, we did a lab with our groups. The lab was a flame lab. We had to light up a Bunsen burner. Then we were given a container with the a specific label and in the container there was liquid such as Potassium. We had to take a metal loop and dip it in the liquid and put the loop in the flame. When putting the liquid in the flame the flame turned a different color such as hot pink (my favorite), bright orange, green, and yellow. After recording the colors of the flame of each substance we were given cotainers without labels on them. And in the container there were liquids we did not know. We had to take the loop again and dip into the unknown liquid and put the loop into the flame. We had to then guess what liquid belonged to what flame. Some of the liquids were easy to identify, but some werent so i put two guesses on my paper.
