What else can I help you with?
What should you do to correct the quality of the flame when its yellow and smoky?
I'm assuming that we're talking about Bunsen burner... If the flame is yellow and smokey, there is too much gas to oxygen ratio. Cut back on the gas flow.
What is the colour of a smokey Bunsen flame?
i think it is brown.
What makes the yellow colour in a yellow Bunsen flame?
The yellow color in a Bunsen flame is usually due to the presence of soot particles that are glowing as they burn incomplete combustion. This can happen when there is insufficient oxygen mixing with the gas. It can also be a result of metal ions in the flame, such as sodium, which can emit yellow light when heated.
What kind of flame is a yellow flame called?
A yellow flame is typically called a reducing flame. This type of flame is often seen in gas stoves and burners where there is an imbalance of air and fuel, leading to incomplete combustion and producing a yellow color.
Is a yellow flame of a Bunsen burner hotter than the blue flame?
No, a blue flame of a Bunsen burner is hotter than a yellow flame. The blue flame indicates complete combustion of the gas, which produces a higher temperature compared to the yellow flame's incomplete combustion.
How hot is the yellow flame on a fire?
The yellow flame? i do not know but the blue flame is 2732 degrees Fahrenheit
What yellow flame indicate in flame test?
A yellow flame in a flame test usually indicates the presence of sodium in the sample being tested. Sodium typically produces a bright yellow flame when heated.
How would a burner which has a yellow and smokey flame be adjusted?
A yellow and smoky flame is typically a sign of incomplete combustion. To adjust this, you can try increasing the air intake by opening the air shutter or adjusting the air-to-fuel ratio to achieve a bluer and more efficient flame. If the issue persists, it may require cleaning or maintenance of the burner components.
What causes the Bunsen burner flame to be noisy?
There are actually two flames that appear one is yellow & other is blue. And the blue flame makes more noise than the yellow.I think it is the sound of air rushing through the vents to get to the flame. The reason you get the yellow flame is that the gas is not burning completely. It is when you open up the vents that the flame is adjusted to blue.
How do you get blue flame to yellow flame?
To change a blue flame to a yellow flame, you can adjust the air mixture going into the gas burner. Increasing the amount of air mixed with the gas will result in a yellow flame. This can usually be done by adjusting the air shutter on the burner.
Is the inner part of a luminous flame yellow?
Yes, the inner part of a luminous flame is typically yellow. The yellow color is due to the incomplete combustion of carbon particles present in the flame.
Why is a luminous yellow flame on a Bunsen burner often smokey?
A luminous yellow flame on a Bunsen burner indicates incomplete combustion, which can produce soot or smoke. This happens when there is not enough air mixing with the fuel gas, leading to inefficient burning of fuel and the formation of carbon particles that become visible as smoke. Adjusting the air intake on the Bunsen burner can help achieve a cleaner, blue flame with complete combustion.
