    This is really useful! I am Grade 12 A/L student from Sri Lanka. My AL exam is coming up soon. I couldn't go to school on the day of this practical test. Now It is no problem. I saw every colors PERFECT.. And u taught very very well...Finaly, thank u sooo much madam for ur help. Good Luck!

      Very glad to hear this will help you and your class! I've taught in classrooms with very limited experimental equipment and it makes teaching and learning chemistry so much more challenging.

    This video gets 👍👍. I'm a retired veteran and I've always enjoyed chemistry since I was a teen.
    I've had a bit of time now to chase after some of my hobbies and your videos helped clear up a little bit more on the piriodic table and safe methods of testing metals as well as consideration of purity. I did a version of the color differences but used a circular burner in a camping stove. The flame "spectrograph" turned out intense 😁👍. Concentrate the same metals in different amounts was a highlight 😀.
    PS, All due safety was applied during the experiments👍❤️

    I understand they emit light when they get de-excited, but how do they get de-excited if they are still being exposed to heat.

    • @ChemCampwithMrsNewman
      @ChemCampwithMrsNewman  7 месяцев назад +1

      So it would be similar to if you were to jump up in the air. You charge your legs with a certain amount of energy to jump up in the air but once there you can't stay there, you fall back to the ground. If you want to return to the air, you would need to jump again.
      The electron absorbs a certain quanta of energy and transitions to the appropriate energy level (an excited state) but would much rather return to its ground state energy level (in chemistry, the biggest driving force it for species to be able to achieve a the lowest possible energy state). So it releases the energy it absorbed to transition back. Once back at its ground state, it has the ability to absorb the energy again from the flame and transition again. This process is happening for not just one electron in one cation, but the a tremendous amount of electrons in a tremendous amount of cations in the sample of the ionic compound (1 mole of cations = 6.022 x 10^ 23 cations). Which keeps the flame colored.
      Hope this helps!

    Great video and explanation. I have a classroom that doesn't have gas and would love to buy a set-up like you have in this video. I have been looking but have not seen anything like this offered. Could you point me in the right direction?

    Urgent Madam,would the wooden splint burnt with the flame test?

    • @Trav_is_Newman
      @Trav_is_Newman Год назад +1

      The splint eventually burned. I think there is a time period where the solution burns off first though. You can see in the closeup shots if you look carefully. Ill ask her to weigh in too though.

    • @ChemCampwithMrsNewman
      @ChemCampwithMrsNewman  Год назад +2

      Yes, eventually the wooden splint will also burn. At first the splint is wet from soaking in the solution. The flame color is solely due to the cation in the solution. Once the splint dries out enough it will also ignite and there will also be a orange color present. So I always keep a waste beaker filled with water near by. When the splint ignites carefully place it in the water. Hope this helps!

    what materials did you used in this experiment?

    • @ChemCampwithMrsNewman
      @ChemCampwithMrsNewman  2 месяца назад

      The solutions are made from deionized water and various ionic compounds (or salts) that have a cation that produces a color when placed in the flame. The most common tend to be Sodium Chloride, Lithium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Strontium Chloride, Calcium Chloride, Barium Chloride, Copper (II) Chloride. Nitrate variations of these salts also work well. Hope this helps!

    how many wooden splint do you have in every glass vase?

    • @ChemCampwithMrsNewman
      @ChemCampwithMrsNewman  2 месяца назад

      So I just put a handful in each vase. The number of wooden splints can always be adjusted based on need. If you run out, you can always add more.

    Hii....What type of stick you were using here?

    • @ChemCampwithMrsNewman
      @ChemCampwithMrsNewman  2 месяца назад +1

      Hi! They are called wooden splints. (Plain popsicle sticks can be used as well, they just may need to soak longer in the solution to see the color of the cation.) Hope this helps!
