to let the gas get to the 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.
because it may catch light to the fame and cause and explosion because it may catch light to the fame and cause and explosion
When strike back occurs, the first thing that one must do is backup to avoid getting burned or seriously injured. After it subsides, the person should close the burner and switch off the gas cock.
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.
Warning: This experiment releases toxic hydrogen chloride gas. This experiment must be done in a fumehood or outside. The containers must be glass to withstand the acid. Chemicals: conc. sulfuric acid,sodium chloride,distilled water Equipment: Round bottomed flask,funnel,test tube,bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat, stopper with hole in the middle, 3 tubes, 3 1-inch length flexible rubber tubes, stand METHOD hold the round bottomed flask with the stand. Pour the sulfuric acid and sodium chloride in the round bottomed flask. Quickly place the stopper in the neck of the flask. Connect the 3 glass tubes and the 3 rubber tubes into a U-shape. connect one end to the stopper and the other in the water. Heat the water with the Bunsen burner and wait about a hour. NOTE Before you start the experiment you should connect the 3 tubes and the 3 rubber tubes first before you pour the acid and sodium chloride in (unless you are a CRAZY SCIENTIST)! --------- Hydrochloric acid is only the solution of hydrogen chloride in water. For the industrial production of hydrogen chloride see the link below.
We can use a pipe from rubber or plastic.
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.
Put the rubber tubing onto the gas tap Then turn on the gas tap
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.
Funtions of the Bunsen burner: air-hole: to control the amount of air let into the Bunsen burner for combustion. barrel: To allow the flame to beat a suitable height for burning. base: To support the Bunsen burner so that it will not fall over. collar: helps to adjust the gas being produced gas tap: to store gas. jet: To allow gas to enter the Bunsen Burner ( by helpingppl) Flame: the one part you don't want to forget
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.
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.
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.
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
because it may catch light to the fame and cause and explosion because it may catch light to the fame and cause and explosion
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.
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.
