Question type: Shopping & Pricing. I'm looking at buying a 2011 BMW 335 Manufacturer buyback that was originally from California. I've gotten over the stigma of buying a buyback,' since the car has been repaired by BMW, is still under warranty and the price is a lot closer to what I'm willing to spend. The reason it was bought back was for an extended crank issue, which has been completely resolved.
Do you think we can use the flame test to determine the identity of unknown in a mixture? Why or why not? I think that the flame test could be used to determine the identity of unknowns in a mixture, however it would not be very effective. This is because if there are to many different compounds, or elements, all of the colors of light mixed together would bring the flame closer to just emitting white light.
A flame test is an analytic procedure used in chemistry to detect the presence of certain elements, primarily metal ions, based on each element's characteristic emission spectrum.he test involves introducing a sample of the element or compound to a hot, non-luminous flame, and observing the color of the flame that results.
