My Reflection
The Experiment
Today in the class we used a Bunsen burner to burn different types of metal chlorides. The chlorides we burned are copper chloride, Potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, strontium chloride and lithium chloride, with varied results in colour. We Did this experiment to see if buring different chlorides would be a good representation of the different colours of the planets and stars.
Evaluate
Was this experiment an accurate representation of the star and or planets colours. I would say No because the colours in the stars change because of different heats but with the chlorides the colour changed when we changed the chloride and not because we changed the heat, so this experiment although it was fun was not an accurate representation of star colours. The Pros and Cons would it looked really cool but the cons are that it is not an accurate representation of the colours of stars.
