When burned in pure oxygen the colour potassium gives off is

Back (Answer)

It burns with a bright light ,

#13

Front (Question)

What proof is there that sodium very combustible

Back (Answer)

When burnt in pure oxygen sodium’s bright yellow flame reacts immediately and has a much larger form than the others . It has to be kept in oil to prevent it reacting wit pure oxygen

What is the metal oxide that is formed when calcium is burnt with pure oxygen

Back (Answer)

Calcium oxide CaO

#15

Front (Question)

What colour does calcium give off when burnt with pure oxygen

Back (Answer)

It gives off a pure white colour but is less vigourous because it is not as combustable as sodium and potassium
