A blue flame is hotter than a yellow flame. First, "...the blue flame..." IS NOT more dangerous than "...the yellow flame." The yellow flame is more dangerous because it is an indicator of IMCOMPLETE COMBUSTION resulting from burning with a shortage of air, and thus not enough oxygen. The reason this is dangerous, actually DEADLY, is that when combustion [burning] occurs in an oxygen deficient atmosphere, one of the major byproducts of that combustion process is CARBON MONOXIDE, a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas which is toxic and therefore deadly to any creature that breathes air.

Why is a blue flame noisier than the yellow flame?
A blue flame is louder than a yellow flame because there is more oxygen (air) flow present than with a yellow flame. The yellow flame indicates a lack of oxygen and incomplete combustion of the methane gas.
What is the colour of the flame when sulphur burns in air?
blue
What are the two kinds of flames produced by Bunsen burner?
The two kinds of flames produced by a Bunsen burner are the luminous flame (yellow flame) and the non-luminous flame (blue flame). The luminous flame is cooler and produces soot, while the non-luminous flame is hotter and ideal for heating and sterilizing.
What kind of flame is a yellow flame called?
A yellow flame is typically called a reducing flame. This type of flame is often seen in gas stoves and burners where there is an imbalance of air and fuel, leading to incomplete combustion and producing a yellow color.
Why is a blue flame called a clean flame?
A blue flame is called a clean flame because it indicates complete combustion of the fuel, resulting in minimal production of soot and pollutants. The blue color is due to the high temperature of the flame, which signifies efficient burning without excess unburned fuel. This makes a blue flame more environmentally friendly compared to a yellow or orange flame.
Is the blue flame hotter than yellow flames?
A blue flame is hotter than a yellow flame because a blue flame has more oxygen, so it has more energy to create extra heat. Therefore, a blue flame is more dangerous and a yellow flame is used in laboratories. The hottest part of the blue flame is right under the middle, this part is called the crown !!
Is a yellow flame of a Bunsen burner hotter than the blue flame?
No, a blue flame of a Bunsen burner is hotter than a yellow flame. The blue flame indicates complete combustion of the gas, which produces a higher temperature compared to the yellow flame's incomplete combustion.
Is the blue or yellow flame noisier on a Bunsen burner?
The Blue Flame Will Be Noisier. The Yellow Flame Is Called A Safety Flame Because Everyone can See it. There Are Two Blue Flames: Medium Roaring The Roaring Flame Has A Blue Cone In The Middle Of The Flame And It Is The Hottest. It Also Has More Oxygen. But Overall, The Blue Flames Will Be Noisier Than The Yellow Flame.
Which flame has more heat a steady blue flame or a yellow flame?
Blue flame. because it does not have carbon
How do you get blue flame to yellow flame?
To change a blue flame to a yellow flame, you can adjust the air mixture going into the gas burner. Increasing the amount of air mixed with the gas will result in a yellow flame. This can usually be done by adjusting the air shutter on the burner.
How hot is the yellow flame on a fire?
The yellow flame? i do not know but the blue flame is 2732 degrees Fahrenheit
Does a yellow flame produces more energy or does a blue flame?
A blue flame produces more energy compared to a yellow flame. The color of the flame is an indicator of the temperature of the burning process, with blue flames reaching higher temperatures due to complete combustion.
What is the difference between a blue flame and a yellow flame?
the blue flame is hoter than the yellow flame.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame hope this gives u the right picture
What is one hazard with the blue flame?
Yellow flame means there's not enough air to completely burn all the fuel, so more carbon monoxide is formed. - - - - - It isnt the blue flame is more dangerous because you cannot see it.
Why is a yellow flame called a dirty flame?
Because the bottom part of the flame is normally blue, and as it rises throughout the flame it changes its color to yellow. They call this the dirty flame because the original color is blue, and has become 'dirty' and changed to yellow.
How do you increase the temperature of a yellow flame coming out of a busen burner?
You can't it is always the same. You only use the blue flame to heat things because the yellow flame is the safety flame and the blue flame is hotter.
What kind of flame are produced by the Bunsen burner?
The two types of flames a Bunsen burner can produce are a luminous, yellow flame and a "roaring" blue flame. The blue flame is much hotter than the yellow flame.
