Why can you not use a Bunsen burner to heat a flammable liquid?
It is too volatile to heat up with a bunsen burner as it could overheat because you can not regulate the heat that the bunsen burner is set to, whereas with apparatus such as a thermostatic water bath you can set it to a specific temperature.
What science tool is used to heat things up in a lab?
A Bunsen Burner An Electric Mantle A Steam mantle.
What is the correct way to get salt from a mixture of sand and salt?
If you mean seperate: Use a bunsen burner, a tripod, and a beaker. Place the beaker onto the tripod which should be on top of the bunsen burner. Pour the salt/sand water into the beaker and turn the bunsen burner onto the safety flame. Then put the beaker on the tripod, and wait for the water to evaporate.
Is it OK to heat a flammable liquid such as ethanol using water bath over a Bunsen flame?
yes because the liquid isn't actually touching the flame.
What is a lab burner?
A laboratory burner, enables glassware (safe to be heated) containing chemicals or any liquid or solid to come to a boil or a certain temperature.

How do you heat a liquid to 90 degrees?
if your in a lab, put water in a beaker, place the beaker on a tripod and heat with Bunsen burner, (use thermometer to measure
What is used for heating small amounts of liquid in a science lab?
Yes they are used for heating small amounts of liquids!
Is direct heating using Bunsen burner flame advisble when evaporating the soduim cholride solution?
As long as the solution is a water-based solution, it should be fine. You should never ever use a Bunsen burner to heat a flammable liquid such as alcohol, ether, acetone, etc.
What would you use to heat small amount of liquid?
A Bunsen Burner
Why do you heat flammable liquid such as methanol with an electric heater rather than a Bunsen burner?
Two main reasons - one is that the bunsen burner flame is actually quite small in relation to the dimensions of the bottom of the beaker. If you take something that has a small surface area in relation to the size of the flame (for example a glass rod) that can be made to soften in a bunsen burner flame much more easily. The second reason is that the beaker or flask will generally contain something that you are trying to heat up or boil. So heat energy from the flame will initially transfer through the glass into that substance and be "used up" in bringing this liquid up to its boiling point,

What heats a large amount of liquid science equipment?
I depends on what you class as late but maybe a Bunsen Burner
Why when heating most organic volatile liquid's is it a good idea to use steam and not a Bunsen burner?
If you use Bunsen burner, you might burn the volatile liquid. Also, because it is organic, the fire would likely spread to you because it would burn too fast for you to react.

yes because the liquid isn't actually touching the flame.
How do you heat liquid in a beaker?
In a laboratory there are several methods to heat liquids in beals or other glassware depending on the temperatures you wish to attain and the control you wish to have over the temperature,For rapid heating a stand supporting the beaker over a Bunsen burner or Maker burnerfor controlled temperature a water or glycol bathimmersion heatersmicrowave heaterselectric coils under the beaker
