Why does kerosene burn with a blue flame in wick stove but produces a yellow flame when burnt in a lamp?

Generally, the more oxygen supplied to a flame, the hotter and bluer the flame is.
Wick stoves need to be hot, so they are designed to allow lots of oxygen to get to the flame, which also makes it bluer.
Lamps just need to be bright, so the oxygen input is regulated by valves in order to achieve a more yellow, cooler flame.

Does a yellow flame produces more energy or does a blue flame?
yellow
Which gas produces green flame when burnt in oxygen?
diborane uts toxic
Which elements give off a color when heated and what color?
Different elements produce different colors when heated. Here are a few examples: Lithium produces a red flame Sodium produces a yellow flame Copper produces a blue-green flame Potassium produces a lilac flame Barium produces a pale green flame
What color is a kerosene flame?
"definetly not it sould be clear" Sorry friend, you're wrong. Kerosene can be either dyed red, most often in bulk containers, or clear. The clear Kerosene has a higher federal tax than the died. It doesnt matter the color, red or clear.
Is a Bunsen burner flame is easy to see when it is yellow or blue?
It is easier to see when it is yellow. It produces more heat energy and less light energy when it is blue. The yellow flame produces more light energy than heat energy. That makes it more visible
Does a yellow flame produces more energy or does a blue flame?
yellow
Why does the yellow flame burn and the blue flame does not?
The color of a flame is determined by the oxygen to fuel ratio. A yellow flame burns because there is more fuel present. A blue flame will not continue to burn because it is fully oxygenated and contains no fuel.
Which gas produces green flame when burnt in oxygen?
diborane uts toxic
What happens to sodium iodide when put in a flame?

What is the coolest flame a Bunsen burner produces?
The coolest flame on the Bunsen burner is the yellow-orange flame - approx. 300 0C.
What is a name for the blue flame?
it is called a clean flame as it produces no soot and carbon minoxcide unlike the yellow/dirty flame.
Is a Bunsen burner flame is easy to see when it is yellow or blue?
It is easier to see when it is yellow. It produces more heat energy and less light energy when it is blue. The yellow flame produces more light energy than heat energy. That makes it more visible
Why should you not heat glassware with a Bunsen?
Because the yellow flame produces less heat energy than the blue flame, and if you use the yellow flame, more chemical energy in the gas will be transferred into light energy than heat energy, which would be a waste of energy.(Cause your goal is the heat up the beaker.)
