The correct Answer is:
To determine which salt is responsible for the crimson-colored light emitted by fireworks, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Fireworks and Color Emission**: Fireworks produce different colors based on the metal salts they contain. Each metal salt emits a characteristic color when heated. 2. **Identifying the Color**: The question specifies that the firework emits a crimson (red) colored light. We need to find out which metal salt is known to produce this color. 3. **Researching Metal Salts**: Among the common metal salts used in fireworks, we can consider: - Strontium compounds (like strontium carbonate) - Lithium compounds (like lithium carbonate) - Calcium compounds (like calcium salts) - Barium compounds (like barium salts) 4. **Color Association with Metal Salts**: - Strontium salts are known to produce a crimson or red flame. - Lithium salts produce a bright red flame, but they are not specifically referred to as crimson. - Calcium salts typically give an orange-red color. - Barium salts produce a green color. 5. **Conclusion**: Given that strontium salts are specifically known for producing a crimson red color, we can conclude that the firework containing the salt of strontium is responsible for the crimson-colored light. ### Final Answer: The firework that gives out crimson colored light contains the salt of **Strontium**. ---
