A Bunsen burner flame is hottest when the air valve hole is open.
Check if the water supply line valve underneath the sink is on or off .."On" will be turning counterclockwise ,If not look for the hot water heater and make sure the water supply valve is turned on.
The temperature of a Bunsen burner is regulated by gas and airflow. The gas is controlled by a flow valve and the air is controlled by a screw mechanism on the collar. Different type of nozzles can control the flame's shape. The Bunsen burner was invented in 1855 by Robert Wilhelm Bunsen (1811-1899).
The needle valve is used to control the amount of gas flowing to the burner. The air valve controls the amount of air.
what is the proper procedures for cheking and adjusting the needle valve
yellow when fully open if on a bunson burner
adjusts the size
A tall cylindrical burner with a flame on top, an oxygen valve and a gas supply tube.
If you open the valve on the bunsen burner fully the flame becomes virtually invisible and therefore there are no interactions between the original flame colour and the colour produced by the chemical.
The flame itself will get bigger/hotter, and the amount of 'blue' increases. Depending on the type of burner, it may or may not increase proportionately with the total flame size.
the 'roaring' flame - which is the one when the oxygen valve is open.
A Bunsen burner flame can both roar and burn quietly, by allowing more oxygen to reach the flame by opening a valve it will roar, by closing the valve the flame will flicker
The most stable flame is a blue flame (produced when air valve is open)
The flame may be adjusted in two ways. To just reduce the flame height reduce the gas flow. To lessen the cone, partly close the air supply valve (the sleeve at the bottom of the burner). If closed all the way the flame will become yellow and possibly smoky.
it turns into a blue flame by changing the air valve on a Bunsen burner.
Increase the air flow by opening the circular valve on the stem of the burner. This will cause the flame to burn more intensely and with a blue flame. When the valve is closed, the flame will burn yellow and cooler - more like a wax candle's 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.
