If your Bunsen burner flame goes out what should you do?

Answer 1

By this I'm thinking your talking about a Bunsen burner? A flame should never be left unattended. You should have someone supervise it while you go or if this isn't a possibility then turn it off and then once you return put it back on. If none of this are possible turn the flame down onto a low heat ( i think it is a yellow flame) and make sure nothing around it can catch on fire/ no one else could knock it over.

Answer 2

Ensure that there is no flammable material around it, ensure that the flame is on a low setting, AND set it to burn yellow so other people wont miss the nearly invisible blue flame and lean over it...

Answer 3

Shut off the gas and let any free gas clear out. The next thing you should do is check the lines to see if there is a leak. Next, check to see if the knobs controlling the air inlet and gas inlet are correct. If the air inlet is closed, there will be no combustion and no flame. Same goes for the gas inlet. Fiddle with these until you have the flame desired. If this does not fix the problem of the burner going out, try a different one.

Answer 4

You have to be wearing safety goggles and apron or lab coat, and no loose fitting clothes. Do not wear cloths that are made of synthetic that easilly catch fire. Cotton and wool are preferred materials for clothing.

Check the rubber tubbing for rips and tears and replace if there are any. Know where the nearest fire extinguisher is. Know where the safety shower is and how to use it. Don't fool around.

Also, never leave a lit Bunsen burner unattended.

Answer 6

well first of all when a bunson burner is first lit make sure that the air hole is closed so that people around you can see. That is all that i will tell you cause if this is for homework, this is kind of cheating

Answer 7

The first thing you must do is turn the gas off, and wait till it dissipates before you relight the burner.

The second, and equally important, thing you need do is to shield the burner from the breeze, so it won't happen again.

Answer 8

Turn off the fuel source, eg close the gas tap

Answer 9

After attaching the burner to the gas line, turn on the gas. Then, with a match, lighter, or striker, ignite the flame. Then adjust the gas to an appropriate flame height.

Answer 10

Slowly heating, stir the test tube, the test tube must be max. 50 % filled, avoid very flammable or explosive chemicals, use safety glasses, work in a ventilated fume hood if it is possible.
