Question

Several of the flame tests were shades of red. What should be done in the lab to correctly identify one of these ions?

Answer 1

Hey there,

First you need to check the notable difference sin the shades of red. Note the observation and match it with the table i am giving.
===================================================
You should check that the strips of metal are clean as the may have oxides of other metal on their surface which may change the colour.
======================================================
You need to secure the data.
==============================================
Here's the table-

Calcium=BRICK RED
Cadmium=BRICK RED
Iron(II)=ORANGE BROWN
Iron(III)=ORANGE BROWN
Mercury=RED
Lithium=CRIMSON RED
Radium=CRIMSON
Scandium=ORANGE
Zicronium=MILD RED

I have only focused on metals which have flame colour near to red.

PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST IF HELPFUL!!!
