Base your answer on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry. Fireworks that contain metallic salts such as sodium, strontium, and barium can generate bright colors. A technician investigates what colors are produced by the metallic salts by performing flame tests. During a flame test, a metallic salt is heated in the flame of a gas burner. Each metallic salt emits a characteristic colored light in the flame. State how bright-line spectra viewed through a spectroscope can be used to identify the metal ions in the salts used in the flame tests.

Tooth enamel consists mainly of the mineral calcium hydroxyapatite, ca_10(po_4)_6(oh)_2. trace elements in teeth of archaeological specimens provide anthropologist with clues about diet and diseases of ancient people. students at hamline university measured strontium in enamel from extracted wisdom teeth by atomic absorption spectroscopy. solutions with a constant total volume of 10.0 ml contained 0.726 mg of dissolved tooth enamel plus variable concentrations of added sr. added sr find the concentration of sr in the 10 ml sample solution in parts per billion = ng/ml. find the concentration of sr in tooth enamel in parts per million = mu g/g.
