What color should the flame of propane be to show complete combustion?

blue


Color of flame in a complete combustion of gas from Bunsen burner?

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 :)


What is the color of flame produced by unsaturated hydrocarbons on complete combustion?

The unsaturated hydrocarbons are mor tangled up so it's harder for the oxygen to get in and break the bonds. Because of this some large sections of the hydrocarbon floats up before being broken, making the flame sooty.


Why does the yellow Bunsen flame produce a lot of carbon?

needs more air in the mix. open the vent at the base. <><><> A yellow/sooty flame indicates that not enough oxygen is being supplied to allow all of the gas to be burnt. Adding more air adds extra oxygen (from that extra air) which enables complete combustion (=burning) of the fuel (=gas) to take place. A clear blue non-sooty flame indicates that complete combustion is taking place.


What needs to be open to make the flame blue on a Bunsen burner?

In order to have a proper blue flame the air valve must be opened enough to allow enough oxygen to enter during the combustion process. Be aware that too much oxygen will not allow the gas to ignite and too little oxygen is noticed by a yellow flame caused by incomplete combustion and the burning of carbon.

How do you get a blue flame?

A blue flame is normally a result of complete combustion where there is enough oxygen to combust the fuel completely.

The best flame for heating thing is?

The best flame for heating thing is blue. Complete combustion usually has a dim or light blue color because of single wavelength radiation.


Can a blue flame produce CO?

No, if the flame is totally blue and/or has no yellow, then that indicates complete combustion which results carbon dioxide [CO2] and water vapor, but no carbon monoxide [CO].

Where is the hottest part of the flame in a Bunsen burnre?

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.


Why is the Bunsen burner smokeless?

Smoke is a product of incomplete combustion. When used properly a Bunsen burner propduces complete combustion, which is made evident by a blue flame.


How do you regulate the size of a flame when using a Bunsen Burner?

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


How a Bunsen burner can display both complete and incomplete combustion?

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).


Why the lpg burn with blue flame?

Because it contains propane and butane which produce blue flame on combustion


What causes the Bunsen burner sometimes have a blue flame and sometimes an orange flame?

The blue flame is observable when complete combustion occurs, which is when the air valve is opened enough to allow the ideal amount of oxygen. The orange flame is due to the burning of carbon particles (soot) caused by incomplete combustion, which is an effect of too little oxygen available for the reaction.
