The correct Answer is:
To determine which compound imparts a green color to the burner flame, we need to analyze the options provided and understand the chemistry behind the flame coloration. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Flame Colors**: Different metal ions produce different colors when burned. For example, copper compounds produce a green flame, while sodium produces a yellow flame. 2. **Identifying the Compounds**: The question provides four options. We need to identify which of these compounds is known to produce a green flame. - Option A: Trialkyl borate (e.g., B(OR)3) - Option B: Sodium methoxide (NaOCH3) - Option C: Aluminium phosphate (Al(PO4)3) - Option D: Tin hydroxide (Sn(OH)2) 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Trialkyl Borate**: This compound is known to produce a green flame when burned. This is due to the presence of boron, which can emit light in the green spectrum. - **Sodium Methoxide**: Sodium typically produces a bright yellow flame, not green. - **Aluminium Phosphate**: This compound does not produce a green flame; it usually produces a white flame. - **Tin Hydroxide**: This compound also does not impart a green color to the flame. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the only compound that imparts a green color to the burner flame is **Trialkyl Borate**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Trialkyl Borate**.
