III.—The Diffusion of Salt Vapours in a Bunsen Flame
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 September 2014
Extract
The following paper is a description of experiments carried out to determine the coefficient of diffusion of alkali salt vapours in a bunsen flame.
The colouration of the flame when a bead of salt is heated in it seems to be due to the presence of neutral atoms of the metallic vapour, and the intensity of the colour at any part of the flame depends on the concentration of the metallic vapour at the particular point.
