Lead acetate flame test
Lead acetate flame test has been around for a long time. In the past, the warlocks of the Fang family pursued various ways of change, and explored the properties of substances. Lead acetate is one of them.

To perform this test, prepare a little lead acetate first and put it in a clean vessel. Take a clean wire, usually platinum wire is preferred, because its chemical properties are stable, it is not easy to interfere with the test. Burn the wire on the flame until the flame no longer has a different color. This is to remove impurities, so that the test is not disturbed by other things.

Then, dip the wire in lead acetate and slowly move it into the flame. Russia, the flame color changes, showing a unique color. The flame color of lead acetate can be orange-red, or it can be subtly different, which is due to the conditions and subtle differences of the test.

Looking at the color change of the flame, it can be seen that under the high temperature of the flame, the electrons in the atoms of lead acetate are energized and jumped, and then fell back, releasing energy in the form of light radiation, so they show a special flame color. This phenomenon is not only interesting, but also very beneficial for distinguishing the composition of matter. The ancient wise men used such experiments to distinguish various things. Although the means are simple, the heart of exploration and scientific thinking are especially commendable. Later generations have inherited their legacy and have become more and more refined in the way of chemistry. The lead acetate flame test is also one of the cornerstones of chemical inquiry.
