Chemicals that make rainbow flame

To create a rainbow flame effect, a variety of metal salts can be used, each producing a specific color when burned. Here are some common chemicals associated with different flame colors: 1. **Red Flame**: - Strontium salts (e.g., strontium carbonate or strontium nitrate) - Lithium compounds (such as lithium chloride) 2. **Orange Flame**: - Sodium compounds (e.g., sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate) 3. **Yellow Flame**: - Sodium salts (like sodium carbonate, commonly found in table salt) 4. **Green Flame**: - Barium compounds (e.g., barium chloride) - Copper compounds (e.g., copper(II) chloride for a bluish-green) 5. **Blue Flame**: - Copper compounds (e.g., copper(I) chloride or copper(II) sulfate) - Potassium salts (e.g., potassium chloride) 6. **Violet Flame**: - Potassium compounds (such as potassium sulfate) 7. **Magenta/Pink Flame**: - Lithium compounds with certain additives When creating rainbow flames, it is crucial to handle these chemicals with care, ensuring that safety precautions are followed, especially since some of these substances can be harmful or toxic. Always conduct flame tests in a controlled environment and consider using appropriate safety gear, including goggles and gloves.
