Q

What is a flame test used for and why

A

To identify the presence of elements

A bit of the solid is atomized and excited in a flame, this is identified by resultant colour of flame

Q

What does the spectrometer measure

And how (3)

A

The absorption spectra of aqueous solutions of the dyes coating the smarties

1) Light from source is split into a narrow range of wavelengths and passed through the sample

2) some of that might be absorbed

3) spectrometer will obtain values of “A” as wavelength changes

Q

Experiments procedure for the discharge tubes

A

To observe the line spectra: set square hole of spectroscope at the middle of, almost touching the discharge tube

If you place it too far away you’ll see lines for lights in the room
