Metal salts introduced into a flame give off light characteristic of the metal. Metal ions combine with electrons in the flame and the metal atoms are raised to excited states because of the high flame temperature. Upon returning to the ground state, they give off light (a line spectrum) characteristic of that metal.

K gives of a Purple flame, Na gives off a yellow flame but the K overpowers the Na so the color of the flame should be a yellowish purple color, but I would just put down Purple
