The flame of a Bunsen burner that is yellow in color will leave a black carbon residue due to the incorrect mixture of oxygen into the flame. Because there is not enough oxygen for complete combustion, the carbon reside is left behind. When the Bunsen flame has a sufficient amount of oxygen mixed in, hence the 'roaring flame', it has a blue color and does not leave a carbon residue due to complete combustion of the acetylene gas.
Smoke is a product of incomplete combustion. When used properly a Bunsen burner propduces complete combustion, which is made evident by a blue flame.
When the air hole is covered on the Bunsen Burner its oxygen supply is made smaller. This makes the flame turn YELLOW - This is considered to be the safety flame as it is the most visible to the eye and it radiates less heat. When the Bunsen burners air hole is fully open there is a super heated blue flame which is the product of complete combustion. Hope this helped :)
The Bunsen burner would display complete combustion by producing a "roaring" blue flame and it would display incomplete combustion when you close the air valve complete to cut off the oxygen gas supply, thus creating a yellow flame due to the burning of carbon particles (soot).
blue
by limiting the amount of oxygen you can get incomplete combustion where the flame is coolest and complete where it goes blue and is bare hot
Of a Bunsen Burner flame? Combustion takes place in all parts of the flame.
The dominant color of a nonluminous flame on a Bunsen burner is blue. Whereas, the dominant color of a luminous flame on a Bunsen burner is orange.
To change the flame on a Bunsen burner you need only to open or close the air valve to change the combustion reaction.
in bunsen burner complete combustion takes place,it produces blue flame and blue region is the hottest part of a flame.so the whole flame is very hot,either the outermost part of flame.
Non-luminous flame
Yellow soot is obtained when the holes of the burner are not clean. The combustion is incomplete. The yellow soot or yellow flame is because of unburnt carbon particles.
