Opening the air hole collar to mix air with the fuel gas results in a hotter flame.

Does a Bunsen burner roar if it has a good supply of air?
The Bunser buner roars when air is mixed with the natural gas; so yes, it will most likely roar.
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
What is the function of the collar of a Bunsen burner?
The collar regulates the amount of air which mixes with the fuel gas before it is burned. If the hole in the collar is not lined up with the hole in the bunsen stem, the fuel does most of its mixing with air at the top of the burner. This makes burning inefficient and the flame is cool. When the two holes line up, air is pre-mixed with the fuel, burning is much more efficient and the flame is as hot as possible.the collar of a bunsen burner is the part which doesnt get hot and you can twist it to close or open the air hole.Turning the collar opens and closes the air-hole which allows a controlled amount of oxygen to mix with the gas. The amount of air mixed in determines the colour and heat of the flame.The collar controls the amount of air and thus oxygen that can reach the methane gas inside the burner. With the hole closed there is no additional oxygen to mix with the methane and so we have a yellow flame. Opening the hole allows oxygen to mix with the methane so it burns at a higher temperature and with a blue flame.The collar on the Bunsen burner is to allocate as much oxygen as desired from the atmosphere into the Bunsen burner. The more oxygen in the Bunsen burner, the bluer or clearer the flame is. It is much hotter when in the blue flame.
What energy is used for bunsun burner?
The energy put into a Bunsen burner is chemical energy and when it is mixed with oxygen and fire creates a blue flame. Waste energies are sound and light! If you wanted the yellow flame that is also a chemical reaction when mixed with a much smaller amount of oxygen and fire. Its wastes are the same as above! Hope that helps.
How does a yellow flame on a Bunsen burner make things black but the roaring flame doesn't?
The flame of a Bunsen burner that is yellow in color will leave a black carbon residue due to the incorrect mixture of oxygen into the flame. Because there is not enough oxygen for complete combustion, the carbon reside is left behind. When the Bunsen flame has a sufficient amount of oxygen mixed in, hence the 'roaring flame', it has a blue color and does not leave a carbon residue due to complete combustion of the acetylene gas.
Why is flame test very not accurate?
A flame test is not very accurate because the other chemicals that you are testing will fall into your Bunsen burner creating a contaminated flame. Therefore you may see mixed colorations in the flame and get a negative reading for your chemicals color
What is the amount of air mixed with gas when the air hole is closed on a Bunsen burner?
If there is very little oxygen present, the flame should turn blue.
What is the temperture of a blue flame?
It depends very much on the type of burner used, the gas used for combustion and the amount of air (or pure oxygen) mixed with the gas. A Bunsen burner using methane and with the air hole fully open can heat small objects up to at least 600oC and at the tip of the inner blue flame cone temperatures of around 1200oC can be reached.
What happens when liquid are mixed with solids?
it depends on what is mixed together
What happens when white of an egg is mixed with water?
nothing happens
What happens if hydrocodone and aspirin mixed together?
Nothing "happens".
What is a Bunsen burner and its parts and how is it used?
From Wikipedia (see Link to the left):A Bunsen burner is a device used in scientific laboratories for heating, sterilization, and many other uses.The device safely burns a continuous stream of a flammable gas such as natural gas (which is principally methane) or a liquified petroleum gas such as propane, butane, or a mixture of both.From ScienceByJones.com (see Link to the left):The Bunsen burner is used frequently in the laboratory as a source of heat. This burner is designed so that gaseous fuel may be mixed with the correct amount of air to yield the maximum amount of heat. In order to use this burner properly and safely, it is essential that you understand its construction and the adjustments that can be made.The three principal parts of the burner are: barrel, needle valve, and base. The quantity of gas admitted to the burner is controlled by the needle valve, while the air needed for combustion is admitted at the small opening around the bottom of the barrel. The air is controlled by turning the barrel so as to make the air holes larger or smaller.Always open the desk outlet valve fully and regulate the gas supply to the burner by the needle valve. Always extinguish your burner by turning off the desk outlet valve (and then closing the needle valve and barrel.) If there is an accident always shut off the desk outlet valve immediately.STEPS TO LIGHT BUNSEN BURNER:1. Check connections to burner and desk outlet valve.2. Close needle valve and barrel.3. Open desk outlet valve fully.4. Check for leaks with flame.5. While holding flame above barrel, open needle valve 1/2 turn.6. Adjust barrel and needle valve for blue in blue flame.Always light burner in open space on lab counter. After you have adjusted it for the flame needed move it into position. One person in lab group is always responsible for maintaining the burner and flame.Burner Procedure:1. Light the burner according to our rules. Observe the yellow flame which is produced because not enough air is admitted to give complete combustion. The yellow color is caused by small particles of unburned carbon which become incandescent.2. Now rotate the barrel until the flame is entirely blue. Two different zones should appear when the burner is correctly adjusted. Too much air should not be admitted as it may cool the flame or blow it out entirely. After having the teacher confirm a good hot, blue flame draw a diagram of the flame (use labels and descriptions). Indicate on your diagram of the flame where the hottest part of the flame is located.See the Web Links to the left for more information.Bunsen burner barrels can be rotated, either opening or closing the barrel, to adjust the flow of air or oxygen, thereby controlling the flame.
