Adding a saturated ammonium bromide solution improves the results of the one involving calcium.
One of these named after Beilstein is used to detect organo-halogen compounds. Adding a saturated ammonium bromide solution improves the results of the one involving calcium. Often performed using a wire inoculation loop, it distinguishes between barium and boron in that the former yields alkaline residues while the latter does not, and between strontium and lithium the same way. For 10 points, name this test for detecting metals, in which strontium solutions turn red and sodium solutions turn yellow when subjected to the namesake source of heat.
