Read the procedure for Part 1 and record the procedure in your lab notebook (as you would for any pre-lab). Watch the flame test video below, recording all data in the data table. We did not examine the Sodium/Potassium combo or the unknown, so you do not need to record those in your lab notebook.

Add your conclusion to your lab notebook. Remember that you need to reference both parts 1 & 2.

This lab will be a little different than prior labs. You will be completing the lab virtually. You will still complete the lab in your lab notebook (to ensure that you have record of the lab) like you have before, but you will be answering all of the lab questions here.

Here is how you will complete the lab:

1. Read the background information below (or in the lab handout here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10Me2VnpmUpWEfBoFQ8nat2Cus6Da7sPcLhx0-gScCMA/edit?usp=sharing). In the background information you will find the purpose. Record the purpose of the lab in your lab notebook.

2. Complete the rest of your pre-lab in your lab notebook (procedure for both days and pre-lab questions).

3. After you complete the pre-lab questions in your lab notebook, answer the questions here to recieve credit.

4. Watch Part 1 of the lab. As you watch the video, record your data & observations in a data table in your lab notebook. (This will be in your data & observations section of your notebook.)

5. Complete Part 2 of the lab. This will require you to observe pictures of gas discharge tubes and the corresponding emission spectrum. Fill in your data table in your lab notebook. Again remember to label your each data table appropriately and use a ruler or straight-edge.

6. Work through the post lab questions for both part 1 and part 2. Answer the post lab questions in your lab notebook and then answer certain questions here to receive credit.

7. Finally, write your conclusion (purpose, was it fulfilled, why or why not) in your lab notebook. Then transfer it here to receive credit.

As you work through the lab, send any questions through email or Remind.

Read the background information to review light and waves, as well as to find the purpose of the lab. Check below once you've read it.

I read the background information.

0.5

Calculate the energy of this photon (in J). Give your answer to 3 SF.
Only include the number. You can use the format 3E-10 or

0.5

Convert this energy to kJ/mol.
Only give the numeric answer.

0.5

The ionization energy of sodium is 496 kJ/mol. Would light with a wavelength of 400 nm be sufficient to cause sodium to lose its electrons? Explain why/why not.
(Hint: You just calculated the energy in kJ/mol for 400 nm light.)

0.5

Calculate the minimum wavelength of light (in nm) that would be needed to cause a single sodium atom to lose an electron.
Give only the numeric portion of the answer.

Be sure to copy the data table in your lab notebook (and give it an appropriate number and title).
Match the correct colors to metal ions.

Answer questions 4 & 6 in your lab notebook. You can skip #5 because we did not test an unknown.

How are the electrons excited during flame tests?

Answer #10 & 11 in your lab notebook.

As you work through the part 2 post lab questions (answering in your lab notebook as well), remember that the background provides lots of information that will be useful for these questions.

Answer #4 in your lab notebook. Remember to reference the backgroun information and your notes to help you with this question!

Answer #6-8 in your lab notebook.

Add your conclusion to your lab notebook. Remember that you need to reference both parts 1 & 2.
