Ensure a good air supply by opening the hole in the collar fully.
Increase the air flow by opening the circular valve on the stem of the burner. This will cause the flame to burn more intensely and with a blue flame. When the valve is closed, the flame will burn yellow and cooler - more like a wax candle's flame.
The blue flame of the Bunsen burner is when it is hottest. The yellow flame is the safety flame. you should always start the burner on the safety flame which is produced when the holes on its base are closed.
You can make the flame hotter by first, lowering the flame from the starting point by slowly closing the gas valve until the flame is at a medium height. Then, you should increase the oxygen intake by slowly opening the oxygen valve until you have a completely non-luminous flame (an all-blue flame), which is hotter than an orange or yellow flame.
Blue flame is a clean flame.
The yellow flame, with a temperature of max. 300 0C, is used only for the functionality checking of a Bunsen burner. The temperature is too low for heating in many experiments. This is also known as a Dirty flame because of its tendency to cause soot buildup.(you can see this phenomenon in a gas fireplace that is set too high.)
yes
You can't it is always the same. You only use the blue flame to heat things because the yellow flame is the safety flame and the blue flame is hotter.
The blue flame of a Bunsen burner has a temperature between 500 0C and 700 0C.
The maximal temperature is in the roaring blue flame - up to 700 0C.
For a Bunsen burner the lowest temperature is in the extreme lower part of the flame.
With oxygen closed off and a yellow flame the temperature is about 1000 degrees Celsius.
Increase the air flow by opening the circular valve on the stem of the burner. This will cause the flame to burn more intensely and with a blue flame. When the valve is closed, the flame will burn yellow and cooler - more like a wax candle's flame.
No. The lowest temperature , with oxygen closed off and a yellow flame , is about 1000 degrees Celsius. With oxgen feed open temperature of the flame can reach 1300 degrees.
The silent flame on the Bunsen burner is the yellow/orange flame.
Maximum temperature is 16000C
By using the correct ratio of oxygen and fuel mixture. Opening the air hole in the Bunsen burner increase the oxygen which helps the flame burner hotter .
how do you make the flame on busen burner bigger
