Flame

color a flame turns when burning a chemical compound depends on the metal ions the compound’s elements contain. What causes color to be shown is the excitement of electrons in an atom when heated, which makes them jump to a higher energy level. As the electrons begin to return to their original energy level, energy is released as light, coloring the flame (“Flame Tests”, 2005). And as energy increases, frequency increases, but wavelength decreases. The color each chemical turns the flame depends…

From the moment I set foot on this world, there has been an eternal flame burning within me. The flame controls me, almost every move I make. It helps me make choices and guides me through important situations in life. The flame is my self discipline and my motivation. The flame was not lit by my parents, it strictly comes from me. I am not sure why it is here, but it makes me who I am. Without this flame, I wouldn’t be the compassionate person, or better yet, the dedicated student I am today.…

of hope that women may transcend their limits in due time. Indeed, some already are doing this. In Flame, the titular character takes the initiative on things, such as joining the army. While she is on the same level as men and is even acknowledged towards the end of the film, she does go into war largely for the purpose of finding a man. Her friend Liberty, also known as Nyasha, even criticizes Flame early on in the film for…

The film ‘Flame’ has been described as controversial due to its particular confrontation of the classic nationalist narrative that suggested that women fighters participated equally with men during the Zimbabwean liberation movement (Barnes 2006, 248). 1967 marked the year when the Second Chimurenga broke out in Zimbabwe after the majority of the ‘black population’ had been denied civil and economic rights for over two centuries (Barnes 2006, 242). The liberation movement also referred to as the…

Pro-lifers Should be Advocates for all Children Many people who are pro-life are serious advocates of unborn children. Many are dedicated to a political position that would even abolish the right to abortion. While I respect this pro-life position, I believe that people who are truly pro-life should be consistent in their advocacy of all children -- unborn and born. As much as advocating for the lives of unborn children, pro-lifers should focus as well on protecting the interests of the nearly…

Down in Flames started out with an attracted stranger stalking the heroine, Bryn. This incident then took on a chain of effects, Bryn found out she is a dragon-shifter, but here is the catch, she is one of a kind, a hybrid of Blue and Red dragon. As you can guess from the description, Blue-ice, Red-fire (pretty simple and straight forward). Both of her parents are exiled from the Dragons society, because you aren't allow to crossbreed with another kind of dragon-shifter (I know, how backward…

The Calgary Flames have been in the National Hockey League since 1980. They won the Stanley Cup in 1989, the trophy for being champions of the league. Hockey is considered to be “Canada’s Game” as it is the most popular sport among Canadians. The Flames are one of the seven Canadian franchises in the NHL. They are part of one of the biggest rivalries in the NHL, which is the battle of Alberta. The Flames have nine players currently in the hockey hall of fame. The Calgary Flames generated 430…

Using qualitative analysis, two cations in an unknown solution was identified. After repeated mixing, centrifugation, and decanting, lead was confirmed in Part A and barium in Part B. In Part C, different colored flames of metal species were observed using cation flame tests. Formula unit, total ionic, and net ionic equations were then composed for the identified cations. If the experiment were to be repeated, step 13 could be ommitted as barium was already confirmed in step 12 with the…

During the times of Ancient Greece, a symbol of the olympics was the flame. The flame was a symbol of the Olympic Games. Commemorating the theft of fire, its origins lie in ancient Greece, where a fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics. Picture The olive wreath is another symbol of the ancient Olympic Games. It is a branch of an olive tree that formed a circle and is an ancient and sacred award for Olympic champions. An olympic athlete would only receive the…

In the flame test lab, metal ions are heated on wooden splint in the form of a liquid that were previously soaked in a solution of metals. These electrons get heated at the same temperature, however the energy that is needed to excite each electron in the different metals is not the same. This means that the energy levels that change are now unstable and need to cool down, and as soon as they are moved into the heat source through kinetic energy, a photon of light energy is created and this…
