A Bunsen burner flame is hottest when the air valve hole is open.
Air hole fully open gives a 'roaring blue flame'
The "air-hole" of a bunsen burner allows some of the flame to escape so that the heating flame does not become too hot. A flame that is too hot can damage laboratory equipment. When the air hole is closed it is a yellow sooty flame like the fires we have at home.
It is a luminous yellow flame. 🔥
The air hole in a Bunsen Burner allows air to mix with the gas prior to burning so that the flame can be adjusted as desired.
when you light up the burner you should see that the Bunsen burners air hole is closed that is the safest flame
The flame that you use the most is the safety flame. The safety flame is the yellow one it is not too hot and not too cold. The air hole should be half open for the safety flame and it makes a hissing sound. Your Welcome xx :D
It is steady.
A Bunsen burner flame is hottest when the air valve hole is open.
When the air hole is covered on the Bunsen Burner its oxygen supply is made smaller. This makes the flame turn YELLOW - This is considered to be the safety flame as it is the most visible to the eye and it radiates less heat. When the Bunsen burners air hole is fully open there is a super heated blue flame which is the product of complete combustion. Hope this helped :)
A hot flame is obtained (but not the hottest) with a color violet-white.
Decide which flame to use. If the air hole on the Bunsen is open you will get a roaring flame a more gentle heat, close the air hole a Little flame will be quiet.
air hole closed- flame is the standard yellow-orange color air hole half open- flame is a violet-blue color air hole open- roaring blue flame
When the hole of a Bunsen burner is half closed (or half open) the flame is mostly blue-violet in color throughout, with no orange/yellow apparent as it would be with the hole fully closed. When the hole is fully open, the flame divides into a pale voilet color outer part with a cone of intense blue color within.
When the air hole is opened completely then the flame would turn blue indicating it is very hot. If you closed it the flame will be yellow indicating that it is not as hot (also called the safety flame). So if you half opened the hole then the flame would be hot but not as hot as the blue flame, due to the air flow mixing with the gas inside.
because you have the vents open on the bunsen burner the flame is getting more oxygen, making it hotter. Different flame types of Bunsen burner depending on flow through the throat holes (holes on the side of the Bunsen burner -- not to be confused with the needle valve for gas flow adjustment). 1) air hole closed (Safety flame used for when not in use or lighting). 2) air hole slightly open. 3) air hole half open. 4) air hole almost fully open (this is the roaring blue flame).
The four(4) flame types of Bunsen burner is depending on flow through the throat holes (holes on the side of the Bunsen burner -- not to be confused with the needle valve for gas flow adjustment). 1) air hole closed (Safety flame used for when not in use or lighting). 2) air hole slightly open. 3) air hole half open. 4) air hole almost fully open (this is the roaring blue flame).
