Unsaturated hydrocarbons burn wih a luminous smoky flame. (unsaturated hydrocarbons are simply carbons with multiple bonds. they are known as unsaturated because they do not have the maximum amount of hydrogens attached as possible with the amount of given carbons.)

What happen to the charcoal if you spray to the non-luminous flame?

If you spray charcoal onto a non-luminous flame, the charcoal will burn due to the presence of oxygen in the flame. The heat from the flame will cause the charcoal to ignite and combust, creating a bright and hot flame.


How can saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons be differentiated on the basis of combustion?

Saturated hydrocarbons sometimes burn with smoky flame upon combustion while unsaturated hydrocarbons always burn with non-smoky or blue flame. This is on account of the reason that for the same number of carbon atoms in their molecular formula, saturated hydrocarbons have more number of hydrogen atoms as compared to unsaturated hydrocarbons.


Why is it advisable to turn a luminous flame to a non luminous flame when the flame is not in use?

Turning a luminous flame to a non-luminous flame when not in use conserves fuel because non-luminous flames burn more efficiently. A non-luminous flame produces less soot and smoke, making it safer and better for indoor air quality.


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


A non metal which burns with a blue flame?

Sulfur is a non-metal that can burn with a blue flame. When ignited, sulfur reacts with oxygen in the air to produce sulfur dioxide gas, which burns with a characteristic blue flame.

Describe and explain what happens to the piece of wooden splint when it is placed in the different parts of the Bunsen flame?

When a wooden splint is placed in the outer part of the Bunsen flame, it burns with a smoky flame due to incomplete combustion. When placed in the inner blue cone of the flame, it burns with a clean, non-smoky flame due to complete combustion of the wood. The inner blue cone is the hottest part of the flame, which allows for more efficient burning.

Why is non luminous blue flame preferred over the luminous yellow flame in the laboratory?

blue flame is more important for laboratory procedures since it's also known as the reducing zone of the flame in which the tip of the blue flame has the highest temperature. and thank you , a Dental student ;D


Does carbon dioxide burn with a pop?

No, carbon dioxide is non-flammable and does not burn. When carbon dioxide is exposed to a flame, it will not react or produce a popping sound.


What happens to a nichrome wire in a non-luminous flame?

A nichrome wire will not burn or react in a non-luminous flame as it is a highly stable and heat-resistant material. It will retain its structure and properties without undergoing any significant changes.


What are the advantages of using a non-luminous flame?

Non- Luminous can burn efficiently because luminous flames don't burn as efficiently as non-luminous ones, they don't produce as much energy. This means that the non-luminous flames have a lot more energy than luminous ones, and their flames are actually hotter. This is why the luminous ones look yellow and the non-luminous ones look blue. Hotter flames burn blue and (relatively) cooler ones burn yellow.


Why is it not possible to selectively epoxidize an alkene with mCPBA in the presence of a ketone?

It is not possible to selectively epoxidize an alkene with mCPBA in the presence of a ketone because mCPBA can react with both the alkene and the ketone, leading to non-selective reactions and the formation of undesired byproducts.
