Analysis:
What is an ion?
Describe what happens to the electrons in an atom when they absorb energy (from the flame)? Why does this produce a bright-line emission spectrum (rather than a continuous spectrum)?
In terms of atomic structure, why does each metal ion produce a different color flame?
What difficulties are there in identifying metal ions with a flame test? How could you improve the specific identification of the metal ions during a flame test?
If it can be determined from the flame test results, what are the identities of the two unknown liquids?
What might be some practical (and exciting) applications of metal containing compounds that create different colors of light while burning? Explain.
How does the ground temperature in sunlight with CO2 compare with ground temperature in sunlight without CO2?

- 6.72 LED bulbs offer a fairly new lighting alternative, and are becoming increasingly popular in home lighting. These bulbs combine excellent energy efficiency with the “warm” light and dimming ability of incandescent lights. Although LED bulbs are expensive, manufacturers claim that subsequent savings will more than offset the initial costs. Analyze the relative cost of incandescent versus LED lighting, assuming that the information in the table below is accurate. Are industry claims of cost savings justified?
