Hello Everyone,

I understand that Barium Nitrate when burnt will emit a green color. But what makes it burn green.

When manufacturing Barium Nitrate using Barium Carbonate + Nitric Acid, what component makes the Barium salt to burn greener.

Thanks!

Hi Corribus,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

The link provided was informative and partially answered my question.

I still have part of my question un-answered. As a manufacturer, I'm looking to improve the quality of the Barium Nitrate manufactured. Please let me know what parameters in Barium nitrate affects the quality of green color / flame.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi there, itzswad:, its going to be hard to give you the answers you want, because you're not being clear, because you seem to lack the basics.  You should read our  Forum Rules{click}.  You agreed to these rules as a condition of signing up for our forum, and they apply to you, whether you agree with them or not, or even if you're unaware of them.  We can't teach you years worth of chemistry one post at a time.  I'm glad Corribus: had a good link for you, and hopefully, it give you a clear enough picture of the green color from barium, or yellow from sodium, or red from strontium.  And others.

Hello Everyone,

Hopefully, you have a good answer for this question by now.

What does this question mean?  Barium atoms give a green color when excited by a flame.  You react the carbonate with nitric to get barium nitrate.  What components do you have to choose from?

What parameters do you have, that you think you can change, that could possibly matter?
