Innovating Science™ A Safer Flame Test: Identification of Metal Lab Activity

Description

Students easily observe and deduce what element is causing the colored flame. Innovating Science™ A Safer Flame Test: Identification of Metal Lab Activity utilizes small candles that are easier to manage in a lab setting.

• The flame test is an analytical technique often used for the identification of certain elements, primarily metal ions.
• Flame color is observed and the spectra of light emitted from the flame is viewed through a spectroscope.
• This kit minimizes safety concerns by utilizing small candles that are easier to manage in a lab setting.
• No loss in the clarity of the emission spectra from the candles, making it easy for students to observe, and deduce what element is causing the colored flame
• Kit contains enough material for 6 groups
• Teacher's Manual and Student Study Guide copymasters are included
