What is a test for nitrate ions?
A common nitrate test is known as the brown ring test or iron ring test. It can be performed by adding FeSO4 to the solution, then slowly adding concentrated sulfuric acid and watching for a brown ring on the test tube, which will indicate ... Read More »

Why is the flame test for metallic ions?
The metals are heated over a flame. The energy they absorb excites the electrons. Only energy with certain wavelengths (colors) are absorbed. These wavelengths equal to the energy difference between the energy levels or "shells" in the atom... Read More »
