Due to the properties of sand, when we heat it over Bunsen burner it can be used as heating buffer. The sand would absorb heat even after it is removed so we can use it similarly to a hot water bath but the sand will eventually cool down and need reheating. It is common to use this sand heat bed technique in organic laboratories or when gentle/slow heating is required.

What compound does not decompose when it is heated with a Bunsen burner?

Silicon dioxide (SiO2), commonly known as quartz, does not decompose when heated with a Bunsen burner. This is because SiO2 has a very high melting point, around 1,710°C, which is above the typical temperature of a Bunsen burner flame. Instead of decomposing, it stays solid and retains its structure.


What does not decompose when heated with a Bunsen burner?

Certain metals, such as gold and platinum, do not decompose when heated with a Bunsen burner due to their high melting points and chemical stability. These metals do not react with oxygen in the air at the temperatures typically achieved with a Bunsen burner, allowing them to maintain their integrity without decomposing.
