Flame Test 07

This is the best of the Burning Salts/Flame Test demonstration videos (see below).
This is a shorter version of the "Burning Salts" video and is a classic chemistry demonstration. This one uses metal salts and a flammable solvent. This is the best of the Flame Test videos because I did a descent job narrating and the opening angle and following close ups are good. This was done by a trained professional with proper safety measures to ensure that everyone was kept safe. This video was recorded during a free period so there are no student comments or extraneous noises.

This is amazing! I am currnetly doing a project on flaming colors, but on candles. Can you please help me on how I can change the flame colors on the candle's wick as it light?

[mrericsully]

@imthafunshieet You could attempt to soak the wick in solutions (preferably concentrate solutions) of the salts (mostly chloride salts) and the dry the wick before dipping it in wax. Please let me know if it does work.

Wow! I need to tell my chemistry teacher about this video!

[mrericsully]

@CaramelAppleFrapple Please do, but also encourage him/her to do it live and to contact me if he/she needs directions.

for the flame test - does the flame colour of the element change when it forms a compound ?

[mrericsully]

@MsMakeuplover28 Except for Copper no. In this video these are not pure metals, but instead are compounds.

Copper will change its flame color when bonded to halogens versus other substances- one is green and the other is more blue-green.

Pyromaniacs fap to this.

Thank you very much. Your video helped me double check data from my lab.

Although I'm not freak student, I should admit that THIS IS INTERESTING and BEAUTIFUL ^^

[chemtubeuk]

Great video!!

[ClaudiaDonovanClone]

This is my proof of color for my chemistry lab write up. Thank you sir!

We used this video for our science homework

@TheFinlandnator Is that so?.... lol look at my username
