The bottom of a test tube was covered with soot after an experiment which required heating. What kind of flame was used during the experiment?
A luminous flame
When the Bunsen burner is on but no experiment is being carried out why is it advisable to set it to the luminous flame?
So you don't burn yourself. If it's on and you're not paying attention to it, a luminous flame is easily glimpsed in your peripheral vision. If the flame was non-luminous, it's much harder to detect and causes a greater risk. the non-luminous flame also burns much hotter.
Function of screw lock in Bunsen burner?
The screw is to change between a luminous flame(orange) and non-luminous flame(blue). You should always screw the lock so that it covers the hole first.
How can a student change a luminowhat would need to be done to a Bunsen in order to change a luminous yellow flame into a non luminous blue flameus yellow flame into a non luminous blue flame?
A blue flame contains lots of oxygen compared to the yellow flame. So the only thing you should do is decrease the oxygen supply
Which bunsen burner luminous or non luminous flame used in laboratory and why?
The blue flame is used because it is the hottest.

Should a luminous or non luminous Bunsen flame be used for heating in the laboratory and why?
Non-luminous flame should be used for heating in the laboratory because the flame is steady and produce little or no soot.Non-luminous flame is very hot thus, it is recommendable to use for laboratory purposes.Luminous flame is unsteady while non-luminous flame is steady.Another reason of using non-luminous flame because the flame of non-luminous is blue, and not visible unlike the luminous flame which is yellow in colour and visible.
Which type of flame should use in laboratory luminous or non luminous?
Non- luminous flame should be used as it is steady and produces little or no soot.
A non luminous flame should be put off or adjusted to a luminous flame. Explain?
fire
Is non luminous flame steady or unsteady?
Non-luminous flame should be used for heating in the because the flame is steady and produce little or no soot. Non-luminous flame is very hot thus, it is recommen- dable to use for laboratory purposes. Luminous flame is unsteady while non-lumi- nous flame is steady. Another reason of using non-luminous flame because the flame of non-luminous is blue, and not visible unlike the luminous flame which is yellow in colour and visible.
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.

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.
Why a luminous flame is not used as a source of heat in a laboratory experiment?
Because it makes the apparatus black when heating
Which flame is not suitable for heating in Bunsen burner?
The yellow flame (or luminous flame) should not be used because 1. It is less hot that the blue flame (or non-luminous flame) 2. It produces soot, as compared to the blue flame which is the clean flame
