Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary purpose of using a flame test in qualitative analysis?
  • Step 1: Understand that a flame test is a method used in chemistry.
  • Step 2: Know that the flame test helps identify metal ions in a sample.
  • Step 3: Realize that when metal ions are heated in a flame, they produce specific colors.
  • Step 4: Learn that each metal ion has a unique color it emits when burned.
  • Step 5: Use the observed color to determine which metal ion is present in the sample.
