We do this with Q-tip swabs soaked in the metal salts in water solutions. The Q-tip won't catch fire until well after all the metal salt has burned off and the students can see the color very well. They then put the used Q-tip in a beaker of water that is disposed of. Easy, safe and effective. Students love it.

Do you throw the q-tips in the trash once finished? or do you dispose of them as chemical waste?

I'm not surprised that safety is at the forefront here, given the most recent (completely avoidable) incident involving the methanol-solutions version of this demo. I do agree this is a far safer method for flame tests. But aren't we crossing over into paranoia to recommend an *impact shield* for holding some soaking wet wood splints into a burner? I'm all about keeping kids (and teachers!) safe, but this just seems way over the top. Maybe everyone in the room should wear respirators or haz-mat suits while are at it? ;) These kinds of blanket statements (whether they are from the National Fire Protection or re-stated by the ACS) do have a cost associated with them: unnecessary bans and impediments to great science teaching.

I remember this experiment very clearly from high school chemistry class being performed by my teacher and a lab assistant in front of each of my classes lab groups one group as a time and thought it was one of the “cooler” experiments because we could see the “Rainbow” of metal salts burning all at one time in beakers. For the life of me if this experiment is done properly (borosilicate glass beakers, less than 10ml of Ethanol (not Methanol), beakers extinguished and allowed to cool fully before adding additional metal salts or Ethanol, Never pouring Ethanol from bottle into beaker, lighting the beakers with a split from a meter or more away, and keeping students a meter or more away while the experiment is burning, and a lab assistant manning a fire extinguisher while the experiment is being demonstrated.) that this experiment can go wrong. My guess the reason that this experiment has gone wrong recently is the teacher added more solvent Methanol or Ethanol to beakers that are burning or still hot, in other words not following common sense lab safety protocol.

Thank you for sharing your comment. The American Chemical Society (ACS) and the American Association of Chemistry Teachers (AACT) recommends that the traditional “rainbow demonstration,” which may be performed on an open bench using flammable solvents such as methanol, be discontinued immediately. For more information about this recommendation, please see the following resources: ACS and AACT endorse the “Safer Rainbow Flame Demo” Detailed instructions for high school chemistry teachers can be found here: teachchemistry.org/classroom-resources/flame-test-rainbow-demo For more information on the dangers of the old-school rainbow flame demo, please watch this video produced by the Chemical Safety & Hazard Investigation Board. It features Calais Weber, a high school burn victim who was injured during a rainbow demonstration in 2006: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWfZg2N4mbd2hLs This month (July 2019), a settlement was reached regarding NYC high school students who were also horrifically burned during a Rainbow Experiment in 2014: www.nytimes.com/2019/07/01/nyregion/alonzo-yanes-burned-school-chemistry.html www.cnn.com/2019/07/02/us/new-york-chemistry-experiment-injuries-damages-trnd/index.html ACS Safety Alert: cen.acs.org/articles/92/i11/Safety-Alert-Rainbow-Demonstration.html

Thank you so much for this video. I'm a writer and am current writing a children's story based on the old Are You Afraid of the Dark series from the 90s and I wanted to come up with a cool but safe way for the kids in the story to make their campfire burn like a rainbow when they add their "Midnight Dust" to it for effect.

@josiahgibbs5697 Жыл бұрын
What works even better is to make an AQUEOUS soln of the salt. Get a asthma nebulizer and put the solution in the nebulizer cup. Turn on the nebulizer and aim the mist into a bunsen burner. Works great. Takes a minute for the flame to get its color.
@taraneyaliciarae22523 жыл бұрын
Just curious... what evidence is there that the colors observed in the flame tests are due to the metals, and not the nonmetals in the compounds tested?
@kathynix6552 Жыл бұрын
The other compound in all the salts is the same - chloride.

how come the Bunsen burner is giving a flame that has no color?
@pauligrossinoz3 жыл бұрын
The combustion is complete, or almost complete, so there is none of the oily, sooty flame that is caused by not enough oxygen in the mixture.

Using saturated solutions like this is wasteful and not needed. The old method using spray bottles and 0.1m (aq) solutions is far more effective. Use distilled water for the students and have an ethanol set for a demonstration by an experienced teacher or technician.

those salts are made with metals of the 1st and 2nd group of the periodic table and it has something to do with the electrons in the last shell of the atoms but don't take my word for that cuz i'm not sure
@Memme144 жыл бұрын
Because you “ad energy” by heating the metal atoms up. That causes the/an electron in the outer orbit to “jump” outwards to an orbit further out from the nucleus. When the energy is “spent” the electron falls back to it’s original position, releasing a foton (a light particle), Depending on which metal that foton has a different wavelength seen by us as different colours.
