The origins and history of the scientific method. We do not learn by accident – for generations scientists, mathematicians and thinkers have developed scientific method to progress the human race’s knowledge. From the scholars of ancient Egypt to the 18th century naturalists, the use of scientific method has evolved remarkably over the centuries. What is the scientific method? The scientific method is a process of critical thinking that involves forming a hypothesis based on

Calcium is one of the most abundant minerals on earth – it’s the most common mineral in the human body and has a host of industrial uses. This silvery-white, soft metal is the fifth most abundant mineral in the Earth’s crust. It tarnishes rapidly in air, reacts with water and is the third most common metal after iron and aluminium. It is the main ingredient in limestone. Put simply, the world would be a very different place without it. Calcium in the human body Calcium is vit

Analysis in chemistry often boils down to two key methods – Qualitative and Quantitative. Both have their pros, cons and different uses depending on the type of analysis required and how it will be applied. But what is the difference between the two? What is Qualitative analysis? Qualitative analysis comes down to a simple “Yes or no” answer. The test for hydrogen known as the ‘pop test’ is a good example, and one common in school classrooms. By holding a lit flame over the t

Barium, like all the other alkaline earth metals, is soft and silvery (however forms a very dark grey colour upon oxidation unlike most other alkaline metals), reacts with water violently and is not found in its elemental form in nature due to its high reactivity. However, it exhibits interesting properties, such as YBCO, a high-temperature superconductor which was one of the first alloys to exhibit these properties. In photometry, the flame colour of Barium is green and does

Components of a Flame Photometer In a Flame Photometer there are 5 main components that make up the instrument. These are: 1) Flame 2) Nebulizer 3) Mixing Chamber 4) Colour Filters 5) Photo Detector The Flame is a burner that is within the instrument needed for temperature control and to heat up the solution. The Nebulizer breaks up the sample into atoms. The mixing chamber mixes the relevant solution with the sample. The colour filters show us which metals are present. The p

Today we learn about how our instruments work. In Flame Photometry, the Flame Photometer is used to simultaneously detect and display five ions (K, Na, Li, Ca, and Ba) and to accurately determine the concentration of each within a given substance. Flame Photometry works by measuring the intensity of light emitted (measured using a wavelength of a colour) when the element is exposed to a Flame. Flame Photometer Components: There are four basic components to a Flame Photometer
