An Improved Flame Test for Qualitative Analysis Using a Multichannel UV-Visible Spectrophotometer

Qualitative analysis schemes are used in undergraduate laboratory settings as a way to introduce equilibrium concepts and logical thinking. The main component of all qualitative analysis schemes is a flame test, as the color of light emitted from certain elements is distinctive and a flame photometer or spectrophotometer in each laboratory is suggested as a solution and when equipped with fiber optic probe, the spectrometers are well suited for use in qualitative analysis for the flame test.
