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.
Do closing air-holes on a Bunsen burner make the flame hotter?
Because more air is able to fuel the flame's reaction; the collar at the bottom of the tube is adjusted so more air can mix with the gas before combustion, the flame will burn hotter.
What equipment is used with a Bunsen burner?
The is an 'Air hole' at the bottom of the burner. This air hole has a slip collar , which can be twisted/turned/rotated in order to control the air flow. When the collar is turned such that the air hole is closed, then you have a 'slack' yellow flame. When the air hole is fully open , you have a 'roaring' pale blue flame. The temparture is controlled by the air hole too!!! . With the yellow flame is at its coolest, and with pale blue flame is at its hottest. However, you need a special heat resistant thermometer to insert in to the flame to read the actual temperature.
Does a Bunsen burner make a noise when the air hole is closed?
Air hole open=steadyAir hole closed= not steady.Why?Lack of oxygen makes the flame unsteady when the hole is closed as oxygen is used for burning.
How do you change from a safety flame to a roaring flame?
to change from a safety flame to a roaring flame you would fully open the air hole.
What is the name of the flame when the air hole of a Bunsen burner is open?
Air hole fully open gives a 'roaring blue flame'
How do you control the type of Bunsen flame?
Decide which flame to use. If the air hole on the Bunsen is open you will get a roaring flame a more gentle heat, close the air hole a Little flame will be quiet.
How do you make a roaring flame on the Bunsen burner?
To get a roaring (blue) flame you simply turn the sleeve on the Bunsen burner's chimney to completely open the air hole under it. The new blue flame will be hard to see so close the air hole afterwards to make a visible flame.
What happens to the temperature of the flame when the air hole is opened?
When the air hole is completely open, the flame is the hottest it can be. The fame turns blue. When the air hole is closed, the flame is yellow and its temperature is cooler.

Why does opening the air hole on a Bunsen burner change the flame?
Because you are letting air in, without air it's usually the flame will just burn out, but in a Bunsen burner's case the flame will just end up roaring, because there's plenty of air going around the room your in but not from the base of the flames, it's like it is rushing to get air.
When evaporating dish is held over the flame ( air holes are closed )?
I assume the air holes are on a bunsen burner? In which case, when the air hole is closed the flame glows yellow, is less hot, and is more like the flame on a wax candle. When the air hole is opened, air is drawn in and the flame burns blue and produces a fiercer heat.

Why is the blue flame the hottest in science?
because you have the vents open on the bunsen burner the flame is getting more oxygen, making it hotter. Different flame types of Bunsen burner depending on flow through the throat holes (holes on the side of the Bunsen burner -- not to be confused with the needle valve for gas flow adjustment). 1) air hole closed (Safety flame used for when not in use or lighting). 2) air hole slightly open. 3) air hole half open. 4) air hole almost fully open (this is the roaring blue flame).
