Flame Test 07

Would this be expensive? Dont see colored flames very often though its pretty.

Some of the chemicals are somewhat expensive, for example sodium chloride is incredibly cheap, but the lithium and barium chlorides are $10/500 grams or more. I don't use a lot, but most of them cannot be purchased in small quantities.

next we have calcium with the failflame

where did you get all this stuff

I teach so I buy it from science/chemical supply companies like Flinn Scientific.

i made a test today. the flame had a red color. but i don't know if its lithium or strontium. it looks more like your strontium in the video. also heard that natrium kind of overwhelms the color of lithium. can you tell me where the differences in the two read tones are?
would be nice...

If your lithium has sodium in it then sodium would probably overpower it, but if you have a more pure sample then that won't happen.
Lithium is usually a hot pink to bright red while strontium is usually a brick or rust red color. Another test would be reactivity or solubility of which the lithium compound would be more active.

hey! ur pretty cool!! i was just wondering where can u buy Lithium chloride and copper sulfate. i need them for mi science fair for Rainbow Fire!!! could u tell me please!!!!

you are cool!

Both the methanol and ethanol I have are denatured which adds some color to the flame. And I would argue that the affect of the blue flame from ethanol is minimal if the proportions are correct. I would also argue that methanol is more toxic and also has a slight color to its flame.
