Green Fire
For this experiment my partner and I are mixing chemicals together to create green fire.
The scientific Method
Question: Where will you see green fire?
Hypothesis: If the wavelength of blue fire is high, does the height of the wavelength determine how hot it is? .
Materials: Beaker, Fire extinguisher, Boric acid, Methanol, and lighter.
Experiment steps:
1. Grab container and pour methanol inside it.
2. Por boracic acid and mix it
3. After thoroughly mixing the chemicals use a lighter to ignite it.
Experience:
For this experiment we didn’t create the fire ourselves. We watched andrew gather the materials and basically follow the steps we wrote on our notebook. I had so many question during the experiment like is blue fire hotter than green? Does the wavelength determine how hot the flame is?
Science Behind It:
Every chemical has their own color when the atomic emission is engited. The atomic emission is the unique flame color the element releases. This is useful because scientist use this as a method to see what elements are in the chemical. Borax is found in roach killer or disinfectant. When menthol is added and the solution is burning out the borax can be reused, but will need more menthol to start the flame again.
