this is a question in my test.. and i failed to solve it
wt's the flame color of magnesium chloride?
wt's the flame color of magnesium chloride?
The flame color of magnesium chloride (MgCl2) does not impart any color to the flame during a flame test, indicating that neither magnesium nor chlorine has a characteristic flame color. This conclusion is supported by atomic emission spectroscopy, which shows that the emission line for magnesium is at approximately 285 nm, falling in the invisible spectrum. Therefore, conducting a flame test with solid magnesium chloride will not yield a visible color change.
PREREQUISITESChemistry students, educators, and laboratory technicians interested in flame tests and the properties of metal ions in chemical analysis.
