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 happens when you put hydrogen in a flame?
When hydrogen is introduced to a flame, it burns with a pale blue flame that is almost invisible in daylight. The flame produces a lot of heat but relatively little light. Burning hydrogen produces water vapor as a byproduct, making it a clean fuel source.
What are the disadvantages of luminous flame?
A luminous flame is not suitable for heating as it gives out soot (A black powdery or flaky substance consisting largely of amorphous carbon, produced by the incomplete burning of organic matter).
How did the safety flame on a Bunsen burner get its name?
The safety flame on a Bunsen burner got its name from its primary function of preventing accidents and ensuring safety in the laboratory setting. When the air hole on the Bunsen burner is closed, the flame produces a yellow, sooty flame that is not as hot or as safe for heating purposes. By adjusting the air hole to allow for proper air flow, the flame turns blue and produces a hotter, cleaner flame, hence the term "safety flame."
Does a non luminous flame produce a lot of carbon residue?
Yes, non-luminous flames produce less carbon residue compared to luminous flames. These flames have the right amount of oxygen for combustion, resulting in more complete burning of the fuel and less soot or carbon deposit.
Why do you have to use the yellow flame when not using the Bunsen burner?
The yellow flame indicates incomplete combustion, which produces soot and carbon monoxide. When using other types of burners, it's important to adjust the air-fuel mixture to achieve a blue flame for complete combustion, generating more heat and less harmful byproducts.

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. :)
Why kerosene flame yellow in color?
On a Goff Petroleum publication Kerosene Health and Safety Data Sheet ( www.goffpetroleum.co.uk/filespdf/kerosene_datasheet.PDF ) it says Premium Grade Kerosene may be dyed blue or pink.

Can you use wood alcohol in a fire pit?
No, it is not recommended to use wood alcohol (methanol) in a fire pit due to safety concerns. Methanol burns with a nearly invisible flame and produces a lot of smoke and soot, which can be harmful when inhaled. It's best to stick to using traditional fire pit fuels like wood or propane for safety reasons.
Does the flame of a Bunsen Burner make a noise?
The flame itself does not, at least, not a noticeable one, however, you can sometimes hear the gas leaving the source.

Why does the black soot formed?
A small stable flame of a candle has a lot less black smoke than a larger flickering flame. Air around the burning candle causes this to happen.
How does a peanut maintain a flame?
It has a lot of oil in it.
What are some ideas to clean soot off tools after fire and water damage?
I have a lot of fire water damage from an incident last year in my basement. What are some good solutions for cleaning soot off of tools?
