Why can you not use a Bunsen burner to heat a flammable liquid?
It is too volatile to heat up with a bunsen burner as it could overheat because you can not regulate the heat that the bunsen burner is set to, whereas with apparatus such as a thermostatic water bath you can set it to a specific temperature.
What is the gas called that Bunsen burner burns?
The gas that a Bunsen burner burns is typically natural gas or liquid propane.
Why is solid naphthalene not heated directly with a Bunsen burner?
Solid naphthalene is not heated directly with a Bunsen burner because it can undergo sublimation, meaning it can turn directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. This process can lead to the rapid vaporization and combustion of naphthalene, increasing the risk of fire or explosion.
Why is it dangerous to distill low boiling liquid using Bunsen burner?
Using a Bunsen burner to distill a low-boiling liquid is dangerous because the high heat of the flame can cause the liquid to vaporize rapidly, leading to a sudden release of pressure that may cause the glassware to shatter or the liquid to splatter, increasing the risk of burns or fires. Additionally, the open flame presents a fire hazard when working with flammable liquids. It is safer to use a water bath or electric heating mantle for distilling low-boiling liquids.
Is copper in a Bunsen burner a physical or chemical change?
Using a Bunsen burner to heat copper is a physical change. The copper undergoes a change in its physical state from solid to liquid without changing its chemical composition.
How do you heat a liquid to 90 degrees?
if your in a lab, put water in a beaker, place the beaker on a tripod and heat with Bunsen burner, (use thermometer to measure

What is used for heating small amounts of liquid in a science lab?
Yes they are used for heating small amounts of liquids!
Is direct heating using Bunsen burner flame advisble when evaporating the soduim cholride solution?
As long as the solution is a water-based solution, it should be fine. You should never ever use a Bunsen burner to heat a flammable liquid such as alcohol, ether, acetone, etc.
What is the gas called that Bunsen burner burns?
The gas that a Bunsen burner burns is typically natural gas or liquid propane.
Why do you heat flammable liquid such as methanol with an electric heater rather than a Bunsen burner?
Two main reasons - one is that the bunsen burner flame is actually quite small in relation to the dimensions of the bottom of the beaker. If you take something that has a small surface area in relation to the size of the flame (for example a glass rod) that can be made to soften in a bunsen burner flame much more easily. The second reason is that the beaker or flask will generally contain something that you are trying to heat up or boil. So heat energy from the flame will initially transfer through the glass into that substance and be "used up" in bringing this liquid up to its boiling point,
What would you use to heat small amount of liquid?
A Bunsen Burner

What heats a large amount of liquid science equipment?
I depends on what you class as late but maybe a Bunsen Burner
What science tool is used to heat things up in a lab?
A Bunsen Burner An Electric Mantle A Steam mantle.
