Experiments to determine the identity of metals by examining the colour of flame when samples of that metal are heated. The aim of this experiment was to find out whether different metals had different reactions when subjected to the flame of the Bunsen burner. This might then allow the classification and identification of certain metals if they have their own reactions, which will be different coloured flames for this experiment. It was hard for me to predict what would occur during the experiment but I was able to write a hypothesis. I thought that each metal could have been different colours such as oranges, blues and greens. Equipment: * Paddle Pop Stick (spatula) * Bunsen Burner * Evaporating Basins * Different Salts * Hydrochloric Acid - 2 Molar (HCI) * Lab Coats & Safety Glasses Method: Lab coats and safety glasses were worn for protection and safety reasons before the...
