The Experiment Description

The Experiment...

In our Aliens Experiment today we were in the lab space. We were using something called a Bunsen burner. These are a small gas Burner in a way that the fuel gas on a jet pump , the combustion air partially draws itself. In our experiment we used these to show off a amazing flame difference with the different chemicals. These Chemicals are called: Lithium which is a soft silver-white metal That is used in batteries, Copper which is a type of metal that it is soft and malleable, Potassium is a chemical element Symbol K.There were different types of flames in this, such as a neon flame, a normal flame and a green blue and red flame. Very amazing to see and I would defiantly do it again. The flames were the best part about it. This is made my gas gas being controlled in the ways of power so pretty much huge and will be uncontrollable if not taken care of, and smooth where it is just running smooth with no bumps in the way. The gas a the flame changed colour depending on the chemical.
This is what the Copper, Potassium and Lithium looked like.

The Description

Its was amazing to see how the different substances formed into flame, watching them grow and change colour blew my mind. These were very fun to create and see how it all combines. Now we can start to use this information to find out more about how the stars and planets got its colour from space and chemical reactions. If we had done more of this with different types of uses what could we have made, what would we have seen from all these different reactions to the gas and flame, what could all this accomplish with others, would this become a weapon of some sort or will it just be what it is today. The things is how it all this done with the gas and the flame and the chemicals. Does this all have a meaning to it. When all this was made I was very surprised to see what the outcomes were. I thought all this was amazing, how do the planets and stars create all of this in space, won't there be certain things that won't mix and could cause a chain reaction. The flames are amazing to describe, when the copper was put into the gas I was very shocked to see how the flame turned to blue and green.

The Discussion

This experiment was amazing. I really enjoyed making all this with my group and the class,, this would be something I would do more often if I had the time, I would go to more places to learn about all this and how ti works.

Some of the facts about this are:

1. Lithium is used in aircraft manufacture and in certain batteries.
2. Copper is a chemical element with the symbol CU and atomic number of 29
3. When you light up the fire and put Copper on it it turns green and blue.
4. When yo light up the fire on Potassium it turns pink and purple.
5. When you light up the lithium it turns red.
6. The Bunsen Burner was made in March 31, 1811-August 16, 1899.
7. The Bunsen Burner was made and named after Robert Wilhelm Bunsen.
