What is the function of the Gas inlet of the Bunsen burner?
The inlet valve at the bottom is used to draw oxygen in from the environment so that the flame burns more efficiant and hotter. If closed the flame will be an orange colour and will leave a sooty deposit due to the gas not oxidizeing compleately.
What is the function of regulator in the rubber tubing?
A regulator in rubber tubing is put there to regulate the flow of liquid or gas through the tubing. With a regulator, the flow can be slowed or even stopped if necessary.
What is glass tubing and how it is used?
Glass tubing is exactly what it sounds like -- a tube made of glass. Glass tubing comes in all shapes in sizes, with tube diameters or just a millimeter or less up to very large tubes. It can be used for a number of things. I can be used to carry both liquid and gasses. With a triangular file, it is possible to break glass tubing into smaller pieces. Using a hot flame from a Bunsen burner, it is possible to bend glass tubing into other shapes.See the Web Links to the left for more information about how to use glass tubing.
What is the 3 important safety rules when using a Bunsen Burner?
There are a number of safety rules to keep in mind when using a Bunsen burner. The most common in a class room are:Check the rubber tubing for any cracks or tears to be sure no gas escapes.Check the gas valve screw on the bottom to be sure it does not fall out.Be sure the air valve is just slightly opened to allow enough oxygen to ignite the gas but not too much that it extinguishes the flame.Light the match prior to turning on the gas so that unlit gas doesn't escape into the air.If the flame is extinguished during the experiment immediately shut the gas valve off.
Where can one purchase rubber tubing?
One can buy rubber tubing from garden centres, DIY stores and home improvement shops. These include B&Q, Homebase, Wickes, Do It All, Dobbies and Wilkinsons.
How do you combine the Bunsen burner to the LP gas cylinder?
There will be a valve at the bottom of the Bunsen burner. Using a rubber tubing connect the valve to the regulator of the LPG cylinder.
How do you use a Bunsen burner?
Put the rubber tubing onto the gas tap Then turn on the gas tap
What arethe Uses of clay shield and rubber tubing?
The clay shield and rubber tubing are useful in heating during experiments. The rubber tubing connects the Bunsen burner to the gas outlet. The tubing enables the water to cool as it flows through the condenser during the distillation process.
What are the 5 main parts of a Bunsen burner?
Air hole, collar, barrel, base, burner tubing
What does the the nozzle do on a Bunsen burner?
The nozzle that the burner tubing connects to allows gas to enter into the burner. Also, the nozzle has a lever that allows you to control how much gas will flow into the burner.
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.
How do you use the Bunsen burner?
You should check if the gas works and that the air hole is closed then you light it .You will need to use a match to light it.If it doesn't light the rubber tubing might be blocked or the gas does not work.
Safety proceedures using the Bunsen burner?
Step one: Place the Bunsen burner on a heat proof mat Step two: Check that the rubber tubing is connected properly to the Bunsen burner and the gas tap. step 3: ensure that the air hole is closed Step 4: Light the math Step 5: Open the gas tap Step 6: Hold the burning math over the barrel. Make sure your hand is not in the passage of the flame.
What safety precautions should you take when using a Bunsen burner?
Bunsen burners are a fire hazard and should not be left unattended. However, accidents can occur even when the burner is off. Check the tubing connecting the gas line to the burner to be certain there are no cracks and it is secure. If the tubing is dislodged and the gas line valve is not off, gas will fill the room creating a potential explosion situation. This has happened. There are safer alternatives to the classic Bunsen burner. A Flame Boy or a Touch-o-matic burner eliminates the issue of a constant flame. A bacticinerator can be used to sterilize plating loops. There are also glass bead sterilizers that may be used.

Why is the rubber tubing important in Bunsen burner?
The rubber tube of a Bunsen burner carries the gas to the burner from the gas tap on the laboratory bench. The material is rubber to enable flexibility to allow the tube to bend around other equipment on a laboratory bench and generally allow ease of movement of the 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
