Since the invention of the Bunsen burner, there have been improvements in its design for better efficiency and safety. The development of alternative heating methods, such as hot plates and electric heaters, has also provided scientists with more options for laboratory heating. Additionally, advancements in technology have led to the creation of more sophisticated instruments and equipment for research and experimentation.

What is the name of the yellow flame on a Bunsen burner?

The yellow flame on a Bunsen burner is called a "safety flame" or a "luminous flame." This flame is typically used when a lower temperature is required since it produces less heat than a blue flame.


Why an iron nail when heated in a Bunsen burner will only glow red whereas steel wool will burn away?

The iron nail will only glow red when heated in a Bunsen burner because it reaches a temperature where it emits red light due to incandescence. Steel wool, on the other hand, contains more carbon and other impurities that can ignite when exposed to the higher temperatures of the Bunsen burner, causing it to burn away.


What is a tirrill?

In the context of chemistry, this is likely to refer to a type of burner. The difference between a Bunsen burner and a Tirrill burner has to do with how the air flow is regulated ... a Bunsen burner usually has slits at the base of the barrel to admit air, while in a Tirrill burner the airflow is controlled by means of a needle valve. Burners in a real chemistry lab are actually more likely to be of the Tirrill type than the Bunsen type, since the needle valve allows better regulation of the air-gas mixture and therefore a steadier more reliable flame. There are some other modifications as well (the most common one being the Meker, which is the one with the "big head" that has a grid inside it, which spreads the heat more evenly). I've also seen a kind with horizontal slits where incoming air is regulated by screwing the entire barrel up and down (this is less common, as the barrel may become uncomfortably warm to touch, though it usually takes some time for this to happen and the adjustment of the air/gas mix usually happens immediately after the burner is ignited). I don't know if that type has an official name, or if so what it is.


When was silver invented?

Silver is a natural element that has existed since the formation of the Earth. It was not "invented" by humans but has been used by civilizations for thousands of years for various purposes such as currency, jewelry, and decorations.


Has hairspray changed ever since it was invented?

Hairspray has pretty much stayed the same since it was invented in the 1940s except chlorofluorocarbon compounds are no longer used since they discovered it can destroy the ozone. Hairspray is toxic and flammable.

Flame is stronger since there is no way for the gas to escape but through the top.

Where is the coldest part of the Bunsen burner?

The coldest part of the Bunsen Burner would be the gas inlet nozzle. Since expanding gasses absorb quite a bit of heat, the coldest portion would be where the gas first enters the burner. Now "whats the coldest part of a Buseb burners flame?", a completely different question. It' s the part closest to the ignition point.

Can you measure the temperature of a flame of a Bunsen burner using a thermometer?

Yes, and No. You will get an inaccurate number since of air temperature and a few variables, but it will be relatively close. I do not recommend this, because a few things may happen, and even some I do not even know of. The thermometer will get hot and melt. Or explode. And many other things can happen.

What colour flame in the Bunsen burner is the noisiest?

A yellow flame in a Bunsen burner is typically noisier due to incomplete combustion, which creates turbulence in the flame. This can result in a louder, more turbulent sound compared to a blue flame, which indicates complete combustion and produces a quieter flame.
