0 1 This question is about chemical analysis.

A student tested copper sulfate solution and calcium iodide solution using flame tests.

This is the method used.

1. Dip a metal wire in copper sulfate solution.

2. Put the metal wire in a blue Bunsen burner flame.

3. Record the flame colour produced.

4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 using the same metal wire but using calcium iodide solution.

. What flame colour is produced by copper sulfate solution?

[1 mark]

. Calcium compounds produce an orange-red flame colour.

The student left out an important step before reusing the metal wire.

The student’s method did not produce a distinct orange-red flame colour using

calcium iodide solution.

Explain why.
