What would happen if you mixed gas and air in a Bunsen burner?
If you mix too much gas with air in a Bunsen burner, it can result in a noisy or unsteady flame that may produce black soot due to incomplete combustion. This can also pose a safety risk as too much gas can lead to a higher flame temperature and potential fire hazard. Adjusting the gas and air mixture properly is important for producing a clean and efficient flame for heating purposes.
What is a tirrill?
In the context of chemistry, this is likely to refer to a type of burner. The difference between a Bunsen burner and a Tirrill burner has to do with how the air flow is regulated ... a Bunsen burner usually has slits at the base of the barrel to admit air, while in a Tirrill burner the airflow is controlled by means of a needle valve. Burners in a real chemistry lab are actually more likely to be of the Tirrill type than the Bunsen type, since the needle valve allows better regulation of the air-gas mixture and therefore a steadier more reliable flame. There are some other modifications as well (the most common one being the Meker, which is the one with the "big head" that has a grid inside it, which spreads the heat more evenly). I've also seen a kind with horizontal slits where incoming air is regulated by screwing the entire barrel up and down (this is less common, as the barrel may become uncomfortably warm to touch, though it usually takes some time for this to happen and the adjustment of the air/gas mix usually happens immediately after the burner is ignited). I don't know if that type has an official name, or if so what it is.
What happen ton sulphar when slightly heated in test tube by a Bunsen burner?
When sulphur is heated in the test tube in the absence of air the sulphur will break down and form a red-brown liquid. If oxygen comes into play sulphur dioxide is produced, however you should not that sulphur dioxide is a highly toxic gas and should only be produced in small amounts under a fume hood.
What does striking back of burner means?
The phrase "striking back of burner" typically refers to the process of igniting a gas burner by creating a spark or flame to initiate combustion. In a gas stove or furnace, for example, the burner is "struck back" by a spark or pilot light to start the flow of gas and produce a flame. This ignition method is crucial for safely and efficiently operating gas-powered appliances.
What makes the yellow colour in a yellow Bunsen flame?
The yellow color in a Bunsen flame is usually due to the presence of soot particles that are glowing as they burn incomplete combustion. This can happen when there is insufficient oxygen mixing with the gas. It can also be a result of metal ions in the flame, such as sodium, which can emit yellow light when heated.
When did mr Bunsen burner live?
did not happen
What will happen when the Bunsen burner strikes back?
You have to turn off the gas tap immediately.
What will happen if you place a flammable substance near a Bunsen burner?
If placed close enough, the flammable substance will burst into flames.
What happen when a Bunsen burner strikes back?
When a Bunsen burner "strikes back," it typically means that the flame has traveled back into the gas supply line, causing a potentially dangerous situation. This can occur if the air hole is not properly adjusted, leading to a flashback. In this situation, the flame can ignite the gas before it reaches the burner, resulting in a loud pop or even an explosion. It is important to immediately turn off the gas supply and safely ventilate the area if a Bunsen burner strikes back.
Can you measure the temperature of a flame of a Bunsen burner using a thermometer?
Yes, and No. You will get an inaccurate number since of air temperature and a few variables, but it will be relatively close. I do not recommend this, because a few things may happen, and even some I do not even know of. The thermometer will get hot and melt. Or explode. And many other things can happen.
What will happen if didn't turn the air hole to close before lighting the Bunsen burner?
Leaving the air hole open before lighting the Bunsen burner will cause a yellow, sooty flame due to incomplete combustion of gas. This can result in the production of harmful gases and carbon monoxide. It is important to close the air hole to ensure a clean, blue flame and efficient combustion.

When did After Burner III happen?
After Burner III happened in 1992.
When did After Burner II happen?
After Burner II happened in 1987.
What causes strike back in a Bunsen burner?
because of the gravity of the sun

Why the Bunsen burner flame may sometimes blow itself out?
A Bunsen burner flame may blow itself out if the air/gas mixture is not adjusted correctly, leading to either too much or too little gas flow. Additionally, if the flame is positioned too close to an object or surface, it can disrupt the airflow and cause the flame to extinguish. It can also happen if there are strong drafts or air currents in the vicinity of the burner.
