Why is the rubber tubing important in Bunsen burner?

The rubber tube of a Bunsen burner carries the gas to the burner from the gas tap on the laboratory bench. The material is rubber to enable flexibility to allow the tube to bend around other equipment on a laboratory bench and generally allow ease of movement of the burner.


What will be the result If the gas regulator is turned clockwise while burner is still unlighted?

Turning the gas regulator clockwise while the burner is unlit will increase the gas flow to the burner. If the burner is then ignited, there is a risk of a large, uncontrolled flame or even a flash fire. It is important to always light the burner before adjusting the gas flow.


Turning off the Bunsen burner at the gas tap puts out the fire because?

Turning off the Bunsen burner at the gas tap puts out the fire because the gas is a switch that lets the amount of gas that you want to burn. And if you turn it off then it would let no gas through and there for would not let the Bunsen burner light up. Hope this helps


What is the function of gas inlets in busen burner?
