Flame Lab

Blog Post #1

February 18, 2016

One of the labs we did in the new Periodic Trends/Wavelengths unit was a flame lab where we burned different chemicals. 

By burning different chemicals using a Bunsen burner, we had to determine what the Unknown was that we were given. 

At first, my partner and I burnt the first couple of sticks, not exactly realizing how little time we only had to keep it in there, but we were soon able to grasp the hang of it. 

The lab calculations we had to do in order to determine the moles j/photon was fairly helpful and quite easy after the first couple as it just repeated the same steps but with different numbers. It also helped me memorize some calculations for the quiz that was coming up as well.
