For a common diffusing gas burner use at home, the flame temperature should be in the order of 1800 - 1900 oC. Optimum combustion with air is 1977 oC but that must be at optimum air:fuel ratio.

What is a Bunsen burner used for?
A small laboratory burner consisting of a vertical metal tube connected to a gas source and producing a very hot flame from a mixture of gas and air let in through adjustable holes at the base. It is mainly used to heat chemicals.how to use a Bunsen burnerum..to burn stuff in science... a type of gas burner, commonly used in chemical laboratories, with which a very hot, practically nonluminous flame is obtained by allowing air to enter at the base and mix with the gas.
What is a instrument with a hot blue flame used in laboratories?

How do i control the height of the burner flame?
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.
What are the characteristics of blue flame in a Bunsen burner?
The flames characteristics is once there is a large air flow the flame will turn blue and become extremely hot.
Which flame is not suitable for heating in Bunsen burner?
The yellow flame (or luminous flame) should not be used because 1. It is less hot that the blue flame (or non-luminous flame) 2. It produces soot, as compared to the blue flame which is the clean flame
Why does a blue flame make more noise than a yellow flame on a Bunsen burner?
Your not hearing the flame your hearing the gas move through the burner. and it is louder because it takes more gas moving through (so gas moving faster) than it does for a flame that is not as hot.

What causes a burner flame to burn at the base of the burner?
because it's hot
Bunsen burner parts?
A normal Bunsen burner has a chimney which contains gas, a collar to adjust the air hole, a air hole that will leak gas, a gas tap that provides gas to the burner and the rubber tubing leads gas to the burner.
What happens when a Bunsen burner air hole is half open?
When the air hole is opened completely then the flame would turn blue indicating it is very hot. If you closed it the flame will be yellow indicating that it is not as hot (also called the safety flame). So if you half opened the hole then the flame would be hot but not as hot as the blue flame, due to the air flow mixing with the gas inside.

How hot is methane?
Methane is a gas, so won't be hot unless ignited. The heat is about the same as a candle, unless air is used to feed the flame - same as on a bunsen burner.

How do you light a Bunsen burner?
You need to close the hole and plug it into the gas point then light the match and then turn on the gas, to make the flame hotter open the hole.Note: do NOT light the Bunsen burner next to flammable substance
