Flame Test- Strontium Chloride

[crysdaly]

I am having a problem with producing a red color with Strontium Carbonate. Could the difference, since it's not a Chloride affect the color of the flame? Which is best to use? Carbonate or Chloride?

@crysdaly It can show the color, but carbonates are usually tougher to burn. I usually use the chloride and it works well, I have also used the sulfate I think.
