What is a regular flame on a Bunsen burner?
I am not 100% sure what you are asking here however I will do my best to answer it. The gas that is used in most bunsen burners is methane (natural gas). This is not true for all labs as I have heard of labs using town gas (which is made from distillation of coal). A regular flame on a bunsen is orange this the coolest flame (300°C) and is rarely used. more common will be the blue flame which closer to 700°C. When leaving the bunsen for any length of time the orange flame should be left on as it is easy to observe and insures the safety of your fellow class mates.

Color of flame in a complete combustion of gas from Bunsen burner?
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 :)
Function Bunsen burner?
A Bunsen burner focuses a lot of heat straight upward, instead of outward. This allows you to heat something up at close range without your hand or anything else getting too hot. Most Bunsen burners have a valve that controls gas flow and adjustable vents where you can control the amount of air that feeds the flame. Bunsen burners are a safe, practical way to apply heat in a chemistry lab.
Which flame do you use to heat water with a Bunsen burner?
For heating water with a Bunsen burner, you would use a blue flame. This is the hottest part of the Bunsen burner flame and provides the most efficient heat transfer to the water.
What is a burner used for in the lab?
A Bunsen burner has several uses in the lab, the most obvious being its use as a heating element. Bunsen burners can reach a temperature of up to 1000 degrees Celsius, which is hot enough to melt silver. Bunsen burners are also useful for initiating combustion, a common experiment being the burning of table sugar in a test tube to yield carbon dioxide, water and ash. In biochemistry and microbiology labs Bunsen burners are used to sterilize equipment.
Where is the flame the cleanest on a Bunsen burner?
The cleanest part of the flame on a Bunsen burner is the inner blue cone. This part of the flame is the hottest and most efficient for heating purposes because it has the optimal balance of fuel and oxygen.
Where is the hottest part on the safety flame on a Bunsen burner?
The hottest part of the flame on a Bunsen burner is at the tip of the inner blue cone. This part of the flame is where combustion is most complete, resulting in the highest temperature.
What are the two types of the gas burner flame?
Yellow, smoky flame: indicates incomplete combustion due to insufficient air supply, resulting in inefficient burning and soot formation. Blue, clean flame: indicates complete combustion with optimal air-fuel ratio, resulting in efficient burning and minimal emissions.
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 part of the flame in a Bunsen burner is much more heater?
The inner blue cone of the flame in a Bunsen burner is the hottest part, as it has the highest temperature and most complete combustion. This part of the flame is where the flame is the most efficient for heating purposes.
What is the best flame from a Bunsen Burner?
The most stable flame is a blue flame (produced when air valve is open)
