Unknown Lab Write-Up
I started my unknown lab by doing the flame test. I thought that if I started with this test and followed with the borax bead test I could narrow down which anion I thought it was without spending too much time. My first sample (1123) turned out sort of red in the flame test so I thought it was Strontium but wasn’t positive. After doing the borax bead and all of the other anion tests I decided to guess.
