if i were taught about the flame tests with this visualization id never forget

potassium rubidium and cesium are basically the same, and I've seen fire with pale blue in it before, its not that uncommon, and sodium looks like mostly normal fire, so really the only cool one here is the lithium.

A lab was about flame tests. Students were given .5M plastic containers of 9 different nitrate solutions. A question at the end asks, "Using a chemistry textbook, find the formulas for the compounds that are 1M and used in the flame tests."

What do think this question means? Am I just supposed to write the chemical formula? The formula is already on the label of each of the liquid compounds. For example, the formula for cupric nitrate would be Cu(NO3)2. Is that all this is? Maybe the teacher did not know that the formulas were written along with the name on each label?
