Question type: Shopping & Pricing. I'm looking at buying a 2011 BMW 335 Manufacturer buyback that was originally from California. I've gotten over the stigma of buying a buyback,' since the car has been repaired by BMW, is still under warranty and the price is a lot closer to what I'm willing to spend. The reason it was bought back was for an extended crank issue, which has been completely resolved.
Do you think we can use the flame test to determine the identity of unknown in a mixture? Why or why not? I think that the flame test could be used to determine the identity of unknowns in a mixture, however it would not be very effective. This is because if there are to many different compounds, or elements, all of the colors of light mixed together would bring the flame closer to just emitting white light.
the flame test the flame test is a qualitative test used in chemistry to help determine the identity or possible identity of a metal or metalloid ion found in an ionic compound if the compound is placed in the flame of a gas burner there may be a characteristic color given off that is visible to the naked eyesafety always use good safety techniques wear chemical splash approved goggles wear a chemical apron practice the flame test under the supervision of a chemistry teacherest the loop by placing it into a gas burner flame if there is a burst of color then you did not clean it sufficiently if there is no distinct color then it is ready for use if you have more loops use a different loop for each test the clean loop is dipped in either a powder or solution of an ionic metal salt
