Heated test tube with a bunsen burner with closed air holes would result to the test tube having some kind of black material at the bottom, it looks like a burnt coal that stick to the bottom of the test tube. This happens because the flame is not a good flame.
the copper must have combined with another substance.
Sodium carbonate does decompose when heated, it undergoes thermal decomposition to form sodium oxide (Na2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O). However, the decomposition of sodium carbonate is not easily noticeable when using a Bunsen burner as the high temperature and rapid combustion of the gas can mask the decomposition reaction.
sodium
you put your water in the bursen burner then put in on heat the heat should be moderate to avoid vigorous boiling.Alway take note that you do not make the mouth of the bursen burner to face you put it the opposite side and do not lok in side the bursen burner.
Salts (chlorides) of most metals
It is less hot
Depending on what is being heated. If its a liquid that isn't combustable (ie. water) its safe just to heat it using a bunsun burner. However if its something lik ethanol that will combust your better using a water bath. If your wanting a set temperature for a solution to be heated at then use an electronic water bath. If you want to get realy fancy use a heated cermic surface. This have like a magnetic stirrer with it as well and you set the temperature.
When using a thermador cooktop, only the pot or pan used is being heated and not the burner. When using electricity or gas, the burner gets hot as well as the pot or pan being used. Thus, thermador cooktops are more energy efficient by cooking faster and cooling down faster.

Depends on what type of burner you're using and what 'setting' it is on.

contaminates will be less likely to drip inside the burner this way
Is it dangersous to cook using a small pot or pan on a large electric burner?
Nothing much really. Just don't touch the flame, wear goggles and that's all. Using a safety mat is unnecessary and it doesn't really matter if you keep the airhole at the base open or closed.
Watch out for the fire as it might burn the equipment
dont burn things
