To carry out flame tests with salts of lithium, sodium, potassium, barium, strontium and copper.

Procedure

1. Light a bunsen burner and adjust it to obtain a blue flame.
2. Dip the wooden splint in water and add one of the salt to it so it sticks on.
3. Place the wooden splint over the flame to observe the colour of the flame.
4. After the salt has finished burning put the flame out and take note of the colour.
5. Repeat this for all the different salts.

Results

• Lithium – Deep red
• Sodium – Yellow
• Potassium – Lilac
• Barium – Green
• Strontium – Red... (More)

Ethene gas is prepared by dehydrating ethanol (drug found in alcoholic drinks). Ethene is a colourless gas with a sweet smell. It is a insoluble in water but can dissolve in organic solvents.

Main Chemicals required

• Ethanol – CH3CH2OH
• Aluminium oxide – a white powder in appearance – Al2O3

Procedure

1. Pour small amount of ethanol into a boiling tube.
2. Push in a piece of glass wool to soaking up all the ethanol.
3. Set up the apparatus with about 2g of aluminium oxide halfway along the boiling tube.
4. Heat the aluminium oxide and occasionally heating the ethanol gently. The ethanol then... (More)
