Flame tests are used to identify the presence of a relatively small number of metal ions in a compound. However, the color may be muted, so it can be hard to distinguish between the yellow of sodium or gold of iron. I believe the chemical test can somehow convert the $\ce{NH4+}$ ion into $\ce{NH3}$ gas so that we can test it with a moist red litmus paper. Randy Sullivan, University of Oregon The flame test can help you to easily distinguish what each element is based off the color it burns, and the bar code that comes from the spectroscope. Hold a cotton swab or splint that has been soaked in water, immerse it in the sample that has to be tested and flush the splint or swab through the flame. As the electrons return to a lower energy, they emit light of a characteristic frequency corresponding to the amount of energy that they lost moving to the lower energy level.
