Olympic Flame

Cold Metal, Hot Flame William Faulkner’s “Barn Burning” is a well versed rendition of the post-Civil War era, about the lives of a family of poor tenant farmers. This story’s setting is in a fictional (yet almost familiar) county in Mississippi, and is told through the eyes of a young boy. In a detached sort of tone, Faulkner takes us step by step through the ups and downs of Abner’s moods, and how his youngest son, Sarty, perceives them. Here is the thesis statement: However, it is Faulkner’s

Flames roared their defiance to the skies, punching fists of red and orange into the air, snarling defiantly as gentle raindrops sizzled into vapour in the fire’s insatiable maw. Sinuous orange and yellow tongues licked at every opening, leaving charred blackened wood in their wake. Fingers of flame waved manically behind windows until the glass shattered from these demonic ministrations. She stood on the gravel drive with the other two women and William, gazing helplessly at the vicious scene of

reasons why flameless candles beat regular candles. Flameless Candles Are Safe. The best reason to use flameless candles is due to safety. Since these candles operate without a flame, there is no fire danger like there is with the regular kind. With a candle that is flameless you don't have to worry

burns blue towards the bottom of the flame? If we take a quick step back, this is mostly due to a chemical reaction that is known as the “specific heat”. This must be achieved (as well as the other two properties that every fire is required to possess in order to burn) in order for a flame to become present. After this specific heat is reached, a chemical reaction occurs and turns the fuel source of the fire into a vapor. The aspects that are required for a flame to be created are a heat source, some

When metals are burned during a flame test their spectrum colors are each unique to their element. To start off, each element during the flame test was burned under a Bunsen burner. Each element showed a special and specific color that was seen through a spectroscope. As shown in the table, lithium was burned and showed a red and orange color. When calcium was burned, it revealed a red, orange, and yellow color. Potassium burned a yellow and orange color, following copper that was burned a solid

Flame Lab Part 1. In the first part, a stick with strontium chloride on it was put into flames produced by a bunsen burner. This flame was red from the strontium chloride. The particles moved to an excited state and the color red was the result of the change of state. There was also a high wavelength and a low frequency. Part 2. In part two a stick with copper sulfate was put into the flame. The flame turned green. This is from a decrease in wavelength and an increase in frequency. The particles

Flame Test Lab Questions: 1. What color of light is the lowest in energy? According to our physics class last year, the color with the lowest energy is red because it has the lowest frequency and the longest wavelength out of all colors. We can conclude that calcium chloride has the lowest energy. 2. What color of light is the highest in energy? Violet has the highest energy because it has the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency making it the one color with the highest energy.

burned in a flame test. My study focused on 7 chemicals: Lithium Chloride, Strontium Chloride, Copper 2 Nitrate, Sodium Chloride, Borax, Copper 2 Sulfate, and Potassium Chloride. The hypothesis stated that I believe Sodium Borate, or Borax will burn the hottest. The station was set up for chemical testing, and each chemical was prepped and the nichrome wire was cleansed. I dipped the wire in hydrogen peroxide to clean it, then in water, then in the chemical. While the chemical was in the flame I took

The purpose of this experiment is to identify three unknown solutions through the flame test. To attain this purpose, seven known solutions were first tested for their colors as seen in Table 1. To avoid potential contamination, droplets of solution were placed in a watch glass. The nichrome wire was heated with the flame generated by the Bunsen burner. Then, the wire was dipped into solution on the watch glass. Since the watch glass was titled slightly toward the air vent of the Bunsen burner

I experimented with three different “recipes”. Here are my notes for my trials on making a lava lamp. Also, when you hear “WE”, I’m shortening, “MY FATHER AND I”.
