When using a burner with closed air holes to heat test tubes, the flame will be yellow and sooty due to incomplete combustion. This is because the lack of oxygen hinders the complete conversion of the fuel to carbon dioxide and water. Additionally, the test tubes may become dirty from the soot deposits.

Heated test tube using burner with closed air holes?

Heated test tube with a bunsen burner with closed air holes would result to the test tube having some kind of black material at the bottom, it looks like a burnt coal that stick to the bottom of the test tube. This happens because the flame is not a good flame.


How many holes are in a Bunsen burner?

only two holes


Where does oxygen mix with the gas inside a bunse burner?

Oxygen mixes with the gas inside a bunsen burner at the air holes located at the base of the burner. As the gas is released from the burner, oxygen from the surrounding air is drawn in through these holes, creating a mixture of gas and oxygen that can be ignited for combustion.


Bunsen burner blue flame?

The blue flame of the Bunsen burner is when it is hottest. The yellow flame is the safety flame. you should always start the burner on the safety flame which is produced when the holes on its base are closed.


What Are The 4 Bunsen Burner Flames?

The four(4) flame types of Bunsen burner is depending on flow through the throat holes (holes on the side of the Bunsen burner -- not to be confused with the needle valve for gas flow adjustment). 1) air hole closed (Safety flame used for when not in use or lighting). 2) air hole slightly open. 3) air hole half open. 4) air hole almost fully open (this is the roaring blue flame).


What note is it that you play on the bassoon when all the holes are closed?

When all of the holes are closed, the note is a A. It may also be a B,I am not positive


What happen to the flame when the air holes are closed of the bunsen burners?

When the air holes of a Bunsen burner are closed, the flame will turn yellow and become sooty due to incomplete combustion. This is because the lack of oxygen restricts the amount of air reaching the flame, leading to inefficient burning of the fuel gas.


Why is your Bunsen burner so noisy?

The "air holes, or the gas is too high.


Why soot's is present in the flame if the air holes is closed?

Soot is present in the flame because when the air holes are closed, there is not enough oxygen for the fuel to burn completely. This incomplete combustion leads to the formation of carbon particles, which then combine to form soot.


How the flame produced when the air holes were closed. if the the flame was luminous what made it so?

When air holes are closed, oxygen supply decreases, leading to incomplete combustion and the production of soot particles. These soot particles can get heated up to incandescence and emit visible light, creating a luminous flame. The presence of carbon in the soot is what causes the flame to appear luminous.


When you rotate the collar of the Bunsen burner what is the effect of that to the air holes?

depends on the direction you turn the collar. You may cause the air holes to enlarge and let more air into the barrel of the burner. Or you could be making the holes smaller and actually cut off the air supply making the burner less effective, burning at a lower temp because of the lack of oxygen.


What size holes would you drill in the pipe to make a burner for a pig cooker?

The holes for a pig cooker should be about a half inch to an inch wide. These holes must be drilled into a pipe for the cooker.
