Conclusion:

     You start by plugging the gas to the Bunsen burner and then you should turn on the gas and light up the Bunsen burner with the lighter. From there on out all for have to do is dip some Q-tips in chemicals to make other colored flames

     How the flames work in the Bunsen burner is incredibly important to understand the entire purpose of the lab. So Basically you dip the Q-tip inside a certain chemical and then burn it in the flames from there they chemicals burn to make a colorful change in flames. The unknown number is a tough choice I can’t decide on what chemicals they were but to identify them you may be able to tell from the compounds of the element and how it affected the flames.  Potassium chloride and calcium chlorine had similar outcomes in fire.

     We burned many Q-tips during the process without any outcomes. Next time we might not burn them so close to the bottom of the flames.
