Which solution below most likely shows a vivid color?

A.) potassium chloride
B.) nickel chloride
C.) hydrogen chloride
D.) lithium chloride

Respuesta :

the answer is nickel chloride

Lithium chloride solution most likely shows a vivid colour.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Flame test, an analytical strategy in chemistry to find certain elements, like metal ions, on the basis of characteristic emission spectrum of each element.

Because each element has a well-defined spectrum of linear emission, scientists can recognise it by the colour of the flame they produce.

For example, lithium and strontium red flame, nickel chloride appears as a brown or green solid, the potassium salt in the flame gives a characteristic purple colour, and hydrogen chloride as acid, a colourless gas.  Colour's dense in the order as blue > red > green > yellow.
