Question

when doing a flame test:

the hydrated salt is overheated and the anhydrous salt thermally decompose, one product being a gas; will the reported value of x be too high, too low on the unaffected?

Answer 1

I can't for the life of me figure out what a flame test has to do with a reported value.

Answer 2

Ok maybe I didn't understand the question, I guess it doesn't, I just assumed it was a flame test
