    This was fantastic!
    My son was born the week before this came out, so unfortunately, he missed it being posted. 😐
    But, this morning, my (now 7yo) son and his 6yo brother came to me looking for science answers. They wanted to know if flames could have different colors.
    With a hearty "Heck yeah, they can!" but wanting a visual to show them, I went on a (fruitless) Google search (I couldn't find any engaging content directed at an age-inclusive audience).
    I did a quick search on UA-cam and this video jumped out at me*, and after pre-screening it, shared it with my kids.
    They couldn't understand all of it, but the wording made it easy to work around the more difficult bits (which aren't completely relevant to their learning yet, anyway, so it gives me the opportunity to revisit those concepts in the future without overwhelming them with facts).
    They stayed engaged: my 6yo loved the host's vocal tone and beamed through the whole video, and my 7yo found it engaging.
    They both enjoyed seeing the full demonstration. They liked seeing the relevant elements of set-up (the physical pouring of powdered chemicals into the surface, igniting the flames, etc) because it made them feel like they were there/involved rather than spectating.
    tl;dr: Thank you! This video answered my kids' science question, and they very much enjoyed the demonstration as well as the host's explanation.
    liked and subscribed 👍

      * The still of this video is of your science guide/expert/host in the dark behind the flames, which reminded me of Sir Attenborough - patiently telling the camera about an animal perched directly in front of him - which gave me some optimism about the content. 🤓

    When temperatures approach 2,400º F to 2,700º F, flames appear white. ... The color blue indicates a temperature even hotter than white. Blue flames usually appear at a temperature between 2,600º F and 3,000º F. Blue flames have more oxygen and get hotter because gases burn hotter than organic materials, such as wood. SO BLUE IS HOTTER

    _Yugen, it’s actually purple because if you look at the electromagnetic spectrum, it shows how each color changes according to the wavelength and frequency. “ The HOTTEST we have DISCOVERED so far is actually blue, meaning blue star, but we haven’t yet discovered a purple. It is believed that the hottest would be a purple star but I could be wrong. Just giving up my opinion and observations. I’m pretty sure that this is not the same for fire meaning fire on earth not that there is any fire in space but I’m not sure if it’s true that the hottest fire is actually purple. Now I’m pretty sure it is for stars because stars are believed to me made of plasma which is the 4 state of matter but fire is not plasma. FUN FACT: Did you know that you can create plasma if you microwave fire, not that you should but it’s something cool to know, also there is believed to me a 5th state of matter as well called dark matter which is what is believed to hold the universe together, meaning all of that empty space in outer space which is where there is nothing could actually have dark matter which is what holds all the stars and galaxies in their orbit. And yes galaxies and stars do orbit as well.

    It is not just the case with salts or metals. If you colour a strip of paper blue it burns green too.. but surprisingly none other colour other than violet shows any trace of green flames.
    There is something odd about blues.
    Ancient Egyptians didn't even had a name for blue colour and they had words for every small things.
    Why?
    Is it because blue is not a part of the cosmos and later became a part of it.
    Just curious!

    Question, color is what we see right ? then if table salt is emitting yellow light then it means it's giving out that specific wavelength of light. But what of white light ? Magnesium and Beryllium burns with white flame does this mean they give out all the wavelengths of the flame ?

    Does the flame burn hotter when you add NaCl?

    • @joshualeong7894
      @joshualeong7894 3 роки тому

      No it does not. The flame does not burn hotter with NaCl present because you aren’t actually converting NaCl to something else via a chemical reaction that releases energy as heat. In fact, OVERALL, the presence of NaCl does nothing at all.
      The way the colour-changing works is that every atom has a set of fixed energy levels, meaning to promote (excite) an electron from energy level 1 to 2, you absorb x Joules of energy from the surroundings. And to go back down from 2 to 1 the electron just released that x Joules of energy back to the surroundings.
      When you have fire around NaCl, the electrons in Na+ absorb heat from surroundings and electrons get excited to higher energy levels. And then any electron that ENDS UP IN ENERGY LEVEL 2 REGARDLESS OF WHICH ENERGY LEVEL IT DROPPED DOWN FROM will release energy that just nice corresponds to visible wavelengths of light.

    How to make colorful flames: tear a colored page from a flyer, make a roll , place a big long metal fork inside the roll and stick one end of the roll to the fork with scotch tape , set the roll on fire. 100% vivid multicolored flames, 3 minutes time, cost 0. If you have not a big long metal fork you can use anything metallic equally safe and suitable for the purpose. Warning: do not do this inside the building , nor in public places , nor with people or other creatures around , nor in woods. Tip: Use low quality printed pages such as a flyer or magazine.

    • @scienceatlife
      @scienceatlife  9 років тому +1

      You can add more flammable liquid to the copper salts and do the demonstration again and again. The colour of the flame does start to deteriorate as the surface of the copper salt oxidises, so it won’t last forever.
      As for burning a flammable liquid on copper.. we’ve never tried it before. It would be interesting to find out! In controlled lab conditions of course (don't try this at home!).
