Instrumental method for flame test
Flame emission spectroscopy
Test for Hydrogen
Burning splint burns rapidly and creates squeaky pop
Test for Oxygen
Burning splint relights
Test for Carbon Dioxide
Carbon Dioxide bubbling in Limewater (Calcium Hydroxide) turns cloudy
Test for Chlorine
Damp litmus paper bleaches and turns white
Test for Carbonates
Sample with dilute acid in test tube connected to limewater turns cloudy
Test for Sulfates
Drops of Dilute hydrochloric acid and barium chloride in sample makes white precipitate barium sulfate
Test for Halides
Drops of dilute nitric acid and silver nitrate forms:
Chloride - white precipitate silver chloride
Bromide - cream precipitate silver bromide
Iodide - Yellow precipitate silver Iodide
