A blue Bunsen burner flame is not necessarily "better". A yellow Bunsen burner flame just shows that it is on, but is usually too big to actually be able to heat something safely. Blue means the flame is smaller (though hotter), and is used to heat.
Im Only 14 But I Hope This Helps A Good Bunsen Burner is used in laboratories to heat things. A Bunsen burner can produce 3 different types of flames: The "coolest" flame is a yellow / orange color. It is approximately 300°C. It is never used to heat anything, only to show that the Bunsen burner is on. It is called the safety flame, The medium flame, also called the blue flame or the invisible flame is difficult to see in a well-lit room. It is the most commonly used flame. It is approximately 500°C, The hottest flame is called the roaring blue flame. It is characterized by a light blue triangle in the middle and it is the only flame of the 3 which makes a noise. It is approximately 700°C. The Flame Changes Colour Depending On The Air Hole Thingy On The Bunsen Burner.
It is too volatile to heat up with a bunsen burner as it could overheat because you can not regulate the heat that the bunsen burner is set to, whereas with apparatus such as a thermostatic water bath you can set it to a specific temperature.
The yellow flame is considered a safe flame. If you are using the Bunsen to heat you would open the air vent so the flame turns blue, try heat on a yellow flame and it'll end up covered in soot.
Flame Test: heat up with a bunsen burner and the lithium ion fives off a crimson flame, proving it it lithium.
Energy flows from the Bunsen burner because heat is given off, creating a chemical reaction between the water and flame. This causes the water to heat up until the flame reaches 100 degrees and then the water boils (this is the waters boiling point).

The role of Bunsen burner is to heat; some metallic ions have specific colors in the flame.

The bunsen burner is used to heat items for experiments using a controllable temperature flame and surface area at which the heat is applied to the vessel.
we cn usE bunSen burner ..... so that we coUld leaRn it?!
The moving part of the bunsen burner adjusts the amount of air intake. This changes the appearance and heat of the flame.
If you see blue it means that the flame is hotter. It will then (obviously) heat up whatever it is faster.
A Bunsen Burner is a controlled gas-burning heat source (a "gas candle") that supplies direct heat or flame for scientific experiments and research. (The flame can be blocked by screens to reduce the deposition of soot on test tubes and beakers.)
A Bunsen Burner, is piece of equipment particularly used in a science lab. The Bunsen Burners creates a gas flame which is used to assist in experiments. The Bunsen burner originating from 1852, given the name by Robert Bunsen.
Alcohol lamp- is used as a source of heat and light . Bunsen burner- source of heat when non-luminous flame is needed for experimental work..
