What is the temperature for the flame on the Bunsen burner?

Answer 1

This is a two part question:

1. How hot is a Bunsen burner flame?

2. How to convert degrees Fahrenheit to Kelvin?

The air around the Bunsen burner will determine how hot it burns

The gas used in the Bunsen burner with determine how hot it burns

The purity of the gas used in the Bunsen burner will determine how hot it burns

The location that the gas was manufactured will determine how hot it burns

etc etc etc

Lets use LPG gas like the stuff you use in Barbeque Grills. Its about 90% propane, and the rest mostly butane and propylene and other stuff too. Again this varies widely depending on where it was made.

It burns at around 1925 degrees so lets use 2000 degrees for a nice round number. Your teacher cant argue with this because of the reasons I listed above.

Formula:

[K] = ([°F] + 459.67) × 5⁄9

So:

K = (2000 + 459.67) x 5 / 9

K = 2459.67 x 5 / 9

k = 1366

Since we rounded up with the 2000 lets round down with the Kelvin

Gas burns at around 1300 Kelvin

1925 F = 1051.67 C = 1324.82 K

Answer 2

A typical burner (as are the burners in my lab) is fuelled by LP gas and the upper regions hit around 900-950 C, while the tip of the inner blue cone should come in at around 1100 C.

Answer 3

The temperature of a Bunsen burner lies between 750-950 degrees Celsius.
You cannot really be accurate with the temperature because the temperature changes depending on the air hole.

Answer 4

The maximal temperature is 1 750 oC.

Answer 5

1100 degrees celsius

Answer 6

1700 degree centigrade
