Parts of a Bunsen burner adjusted?

There are two adjustable parts on the Bunsen burner, the knob to control gas flow and the rotation of the collar to control air flow. The gas flow control, adjusts the size of the flame by controlling how much gas is burned. While the collar controls the intensity of the flame by controlling how completely the gas burns, more complete combustion the hotter the flame. These are the two parts to adjust a Bunsen burner, I hope I have answered your question.


What happens when you put salt in water while a Bunsen burner is heating it up?

The water will evaporate


Which metals can you melt in a Bunsen flame?

The flame temperature of a Bunsen Burner can be as high as 1500 C. This is not easily obtained and in usual practice the upper regions of the flame hit around 900-950 C, while the tip of the inner blue cone should come in at around 1100 C. Depending on the operating temperature the following list can be sorted as to whether or not it will melt in an average or extreme Bunsen Burner flame.Melting Points of Commonn Metals in C are:Aluminum1 659Brass1 927Bronze 913CastIron 1204Copper 1083Gold 1063Lead 163Magnesium 651Nickel 1452Silver 951Steel 1371Tungsten 3399Wrought Iron 148Zinc 419

What items is used to distribute heat from a Bunsen burner when heating the bottom of a crucible?

A crucible is placed in a pipestem triangle placed on an iron ring while being heated. This supports the crucible while allowing the bottom of the crucible to be directly exposed to the flame of the Bunsen burner. There is no item that is used to distribute heat from a Bunsen burner when heating the bottom of a crucible. The bottom of the crucible is intended to be exposed to the direct flame of the Bunsen burner.


Different kinds of burner?

Three types of laboratory burners are the Tirrill Burner, Bunsen Burner, and the Meker Burner. The Tirrill and Meker Burner have air and gas adjustments while the Bunsen Burner has only an air adjustment. Hope that helps.

How does adjusting the barrel on the Bunsen burner affects the flame?

The bottom of a Bunsen burner contains holes that allow air flow. When there is no air flow, the temperature of the flame will be hotter. With the holes wide open, the flame will not be as hot.


How can you minimise risks when using a Bunsen burner?

You can place a wire gauze on top of it and keep a safe distance away form the bunsen burner. Try not to perform anyexperiments while sitting down- it is safer while standing.

What color should the Bunsen burner flame be?

A "yellow" flame is the coolest, while a "blue" flame is the hottest. The "colour" of flame is chosen depending on the temperature required for the reaction that you want. There is no incorrect colour.
