A manufacturer uses flame emission spectroscopy to analyse a used cleaning solution. The reference data and the results for the cleaning solution were obtained under the same conditions.
| Substance | Wavelengths of lines (nm) |
|---|---|
| Calcium ions | 393, 397, 423 |
| Potassium ions | 404, 766 |
| Sodium ions | 589 |
| Copper(II) ions | 511, 515, 522 |
| Used cleaning solution | 393, 397, 404, 423, 511, 515, 522, 700 |
Explain which metal ions in the reference data can be identified in the used cleaning solution and whether all the lines have been identified.
