Best Answer

because when heated, n2o would decompose into n2 and o2. o2 as you know is required for fire to burn. the more o2, the more energy is release therefore, higher temperature.

Why can you hold your fingers beside the candle flame without being harmful but not above the flame?

Beside the flame the heat you experience is that heat being radiated as light - if you hold your finger too close or leave it too long, you will get harmed! Beside the flame the air is cool as cool air is being sucked into the flame. However above the flame the hot gases produced by the combustion of the wax in the flame are rising upward by convection. These hot gasses will heat you skin by conduction and you will be burned very quickly.

How do you increase the temperature of a yellow flame coming out of a busen burner?

You can't it is always the same. You only use the blue flame to heat things because the yellow flame is the safety flame and the blue flame is hotter.


In an experiment what is a heat used for?

A heat is used to increase the thermal energy in whatever you are testing. In a typical classroom situation, the heat will be supplied by a Bunsen Burner, which provides a flame. This flame is then used to heat whatever object needs heating. For example, boiling a beaker of water by applying the heat under said beaker.


What is the difference between flame and heat?

"Flame" is the visible energy when burning something. "Heat" is given off a flame and countless other things. Flame produces heat, but heat does not always generate from flame, and heat almost never produces flame (friction might count). And if you want the definitions: HEAT: a form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature. FLAME: the process of combustion of materials producing heat and light and (often) smoke. If you want to think of it a different way: Flame is what you see when you look at a fire and heat if what you feel from the fire.


How you can calculate the heat irradiative by the flame?

You can calculate the heat of a flame by its color. Normally the hotter that the flame is the bluer that the flame will burn. If the flame is red that means it is burning at a cooler temerature.
