The luminous flame is present when the air valve is closed because of an incomplete combustion process and the burning of trapped carbon (soot).

What is the difference between luminous and non luminous?

-A non-luminous flame is when the air hole of the Bunsen burner is closed but a luminous flame is produced when the air hole is opened.-A luminous flame has an outer of orange colour and an inner of blue. A non-luminous flame has an outer of blue and an inner of orange.-A luminous flame produces soot while a non-luminous does not produce soot.-A luminous flame is weak and unsteady. A non-luminous flame is strong and steady.-A non-luminous flame is very hot while a luminous flame is not too hot.


What is the name when the air hole is closed on a Bunsen burner?

The name is a "safety flame". This is when the air hole on the Bunsen burner is closed, resulting in a flame with a yellow, sooty appearance. It is used for low-temperature heating applications.


Why is a Bunsen burner not used for heating when the air hole is closed?

When the air hole is closed, the flame is a luminous flame. This flame is not ideal for heating for the following reasons: it is not as hot as the non-luminous flame it is very unstable it produces a lot of soot thus, only non-luminous flames (the blue one) is ideal for heating. :)


In luminous flame the flame is produce when the air hole is open or close?

A bunsen burner (as used in a science lab or science classroom) will burn quietly, and a flickery yellow (like a wax candle) if the air hole is closed, or closed too much. If the air holes is opened, the flame will turn bluish and become noisy and hotter as more air mixes with the gas.


Is the temperature of a luminous flame greater or less than that of a nonluminous flame?

a non-luminous flame- when the air hole of the Bunsen Burner is open"when the air hole is open, more oxygen can enter the burner; therefore, hotter flame will be produced."its color is transparent or blueBlue flames are the hottest flamesa luminous flame is produced when the air hole is closed.."if the air hole is closed, oxygen cannot enter the burner; therefore, least hotter because the combustion is not fully complete with least oxygenA luminous flame has an outer of orange color and an inner of blue.Luminous flames emits more light than non-luminous flames.three things to produce flame1.fuel2.oxygen3.friction or source of sparkLuminous objects emit light. The sun is luminous; the moon is non-luminous.


When air hole of the Bunsen burner is closed what is the observation?

When the air valve in closed a yellow luminous flame is observed due to carbon particles from in incomplete combustion.


Characteristics of luminous flame?

Non luminous zone is the zone of a flame which is also the hottest zone of the flame as it is mostly in contact with oxygen. It is also called invisible zone.


Do you turn the hole fully to turn the Bunsen Burner on Safety Flame?

Yes, to achieve a safety flame with a Bunsen burner, you should turn the air hole fully closed. This creates a yellow, luminous flame known as the safety flame, which is cooler and more visible. When you’re ready to use the burner for experiments, you can then gradually open the air hole to adjust to a blue, hotter flame for optimal performance.


Why is it that when the air hole is closed the flame became yellow?

The flame becomes yellow because the presence of carbon particles formed by incomplete combustion due to a lack of oxygen caused by the closed air valve.


What is appearance of a flame that is used for heating?

luminous


Is the hole open or closed on a Bunsen burner to make a safety flame?

The hole on a Bunsen burner should be closed to create a safety flame. This flame is smaller and more controlled, reducing the risk of accidents.


What is orange flame in Bunsen burner also called?

The orange flame in a Bunsen burner is called a "safety flame." It occurs when the air hole is partially closed, resulting in incomplete combustion of the gas. This flame is typically used when needing a less intense heat source.
