For LiCl, the dominant flame color is ______ and the wavelength of that color is ________.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Flame tests rely on electronic transitions that produce characteristic emission wavelengths; for LiCl the dominant visible emission appears violet, at 423 nm.

1) Relevant concepts:
- Atoms and simple molecules emit light when electrons drop from excited states to lower energy states; the emitted photon wavelength λ is related to the energy difference ΔE by ΔE = hc/λ.
- Flame tests excite species thermally, and the observed color corresponds to the strongest emission line(s) in the visible region.
- Wavelength (nm), frequency (ν), and photon energy (J or eV) are interconvertible: ν = c/λ and E = hν = hc/λ.

2) Step-by-step reasoning:
- Observation/experimental data for LiCl identify a dominant spectral line in the violet region of the visible spectrum. That line corresponds to λ = 423 nm.
- Using the relationships above, we can quantify the photon properties to verify that 423 nm is in the violet band (about 400–450 nm).

3) Calculations (all intermediate steps shown):
- Frequency: ν = c/λ = (3.00 × 10^8 m/s) / (423 × 10^−9 m) = 7.09 × 10^14 s^−1.
- Energy in joules: E = hν = (6.626 × 10^−34 J·s)(7.09 × 10^14 s^−1) = 4.70 × 10^−19 J.
- Energy in electronvolts: E (eV) = (4.70 × 10^−19 J) / (1.602 × 10^−19 J/eV) ≈ 2.93 eV.

4) Why the correct answer is correct:
- A 423 nm emission lies in the violet portion of the visible spectrum and corresponds to a photon energy (~2.93 eV) consistent with a strong electronic transition of the Li–Cl species in a flame. Therefore the dominant observed color is described as violet and its wavelength is 423 nm.

5) Why other (common) choices are incorrect:
- "Red, 670 nm" is often cited for elemental lithium (Li atomic line ≈ 670.8 nm), but the chloride molecular environment shifts the prominent emission to the violet region for LiCl; thus the red/670 nm choice would misattribute the species-specific line.
- "Yellow, 589 nm" would indicate sodium, not lithium compounds.
- Any wavelength outside ~400–450 nm would not be correctly described as violet.

6) Conclusion:
The dominant flame color for LiCl is violet and the wavelength of that color is 423 nm, confirming the provided answer: violet, 423 nm.
