Running a Flame Test
Clean the wire first: dip it in concentrated hydrochloric acid and hold it in the hottest part of a non-luminous Bunsen flame until it adds no colour. Wet it with acid again, touch it to the sample and return it to the edge of the flame. Sodium gives a strong yellow, potassium lilac, calcium brick red and copper blue-green. Clean the wire in acid between samples so one salt does not mask the next.
Why Platinum on a Glass Rod
Platinum is not attacked by the acid or the salts and gives the flame no colour of its own, so the colour seen comes from the sample alone. The glass rod is the handle, keeping fingers well away from the flame, and the tube stops the fine wire from bending or picking up dirt in storage.
