As more air enters the Bunsen Burner, the flame turns from a flickering (wax candle effect) yellow to a fierce sounding blue, much hotter, flame.

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.


What flame is what you called when air holes are closed?

Safety flame


What causes the luminousity of a flame?

Flame luminosity occurs because of lack of oxygen. Also, the air holes in the Bunsen burner affects the flame.


What is turned to used to change the type of flame a Bunsen burner produces?

You would turn the collar on a Bunsen Burner so that the holes are exposing the flame to more oxygen to produce a blue flame. Close the holes by turning the collar to turn it back to the yellow (dirty) flame.

In luminous flame the flame is produce when the air hole is open or close?

A bunsen burner (as used in a science lab or science classroom) will burn quietly, and a flickery yellow (like a wax candle) if the air hole is closed, or closed too much. If the air holes is opened, the flame will turn bluish and become noisy and hotter as more air mixes with the gas.


Why is the color of laboratory flame blue?

The throat holes on the burner are fully open. The color of the flame reflect the composition of the substance being burnt


What happen to the flame when the air holes are closed of the bunsen burners?

It gains a yellow colour and becomes large and wavy hence luminous flame


Why is it safer to close the air holes to obtain a luminous flame?

When the air hole on a Bunsen burner is closed, air is excluded, so the flame becomes a yellowish candle-like flame.
