<p>A small part of the SAT II Chemistry is memorizing the colors of that different chemicals emit when they burn.</p>
<p>Here is a link to the colors:</p>
<p>SparkNotes:</a> SAT Chemistry: Some Common Lab Techniques</p>
<p>My job for you guys is to think of acronyms that can help us memorize the colors!</p>
<p>I'll start (pathetic attempt):</p>
<p>Fe=Gold</p>
<p>Iron man has gold armor.</p>
<p>So gold is red?</p>
<p>Just memorize them; there’s not that many and it’s really not that hard.</p>
<p>No Iron is gold</p>
<p>Here is the acronym:</p>
<p>IRON man has GOLD armor.</p>
<p>Anyone else have some?</p>
<p>I thought Fe= iron and Au = gold. And I though iron is suppose to be grey colored.</p>
<p>Not during the flame test.</p>
<p>Yes, pure gold is, well, gold. And pure Iron is grey, but when you burn the chemical it emits a different color.</p>
