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

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

How do i control the height of the burner flame?

You can make the flame hotter by first, lowering the flame from the starting point by slowly closing the gas valve until the flame is at a medium height. Then, you should increase the oxygen intake by slowly opening the oxygen valve until you have a completely non-luminous flame (an all-blue flame), which is hotter than an orange or yellow flame.

If your eyelids are pink why do we see black when you close your eyes?

If it is dark, no light can penitrate through the skin. If it is light, the light penitrates though the skin and you see pink. Same idea as if you take a piece of paper; if you put a dim light to it, you cant see any light on the other side. But if you take a bright light and shine it on the paper, you can. If this is good enough, PLEASE GIVE ME A TRUST POINT!!!!!


How would you separate a mixture of sand and salt?

Evaporation is recommended. Firstly, put salt and sand into water and stir well to dissolve the salt. Secondly, filter out the sand from the salt solution using a filter funnel and filter paper. Thirdly, place the beaker of salt solution on a Bunsen burner until it evaporates fully and only salt crystals are left. Lastly, heat the salt crystals and sand until it is dry.

Why can't you see yourself in a piece of paper?

Since it does not reflect light. You can only see yourself in a mirror because it reflects light back into your eye, paper does not do this therefore you cant see yourself the reason is that the light rays are reflected in many directions because of the uneven surface.
