*At each station is a wire loop that is dipped into the solution (thereby obtaining a small sample of solution) and then exposed to the highest area of the flame (tip of inside flame). You will record ( in your data table) the first color you see. It may require more than one sampling. If you exposed the sample to the flame long enough all solution will be come bright orange in color. |

Make sure that the wire loop does not touch the benchtop, it should be place with the loop portion on a piece of paper provided in the station. |
