Wiki User
∙ 9y agoBecause more air is able to fuel the flame's reaction; the collar at the bottom, so more air can mix with the gas before combustion, the flame will burn hotter.

Why is air mixed with the gas in the barrel of the burner before the gas will burn?
Because oxygen is required for something to burn. The air mixture adds the oxygen to the gas and allows burning to take place.
What are the parts of a Bunsen burner and their function?
collar for turning to close and open the air hole air hole for allowing oxygen to mix with the gas barrel for the gas to go up gas hose for allowing gas into the Bunsen burner
What is the function of barrel?
The barrel of the Bunsen burner is where the air and gas mix and move up the barrel to the opening in order to provide fuel (from the gas) and oxygen (from the air) for the flame.
How would you adjust a BUSON burner which has a yellow and smoky flame?
You need to open up the air intake by screwing the barrel...usually counterclockwise.
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 is the function of the barrel of a Bunsen burner?
Control of the ratio gas fuel/air in the burner.
Air inlets of a Bunsen burner?
The air inlet is on the burner tube; the flow is regulated with a rotating barrel.
Function of barrel of Bunsen burner?
Natural gas draws air into the barrel as it passes the air in take opening.
What is the function of the barrel of the Bunsen burner?
Control of the ratio gas fuel/air in the burner.
What are the 5 main parts of a Bunsen burner?
Air hole, collar, barrel, base, burner tubing
What are the 7 parts of the tirrill burner?
A tirrill burner has a barrel, air vents, gas inlet and needle valve. The barrel turns on a threaded mount to allow air; the air vents limit the air entry into the barrel; the gas inlet is where the gas flows; and the needle valve regulates the gas flow.
What is the movable part of a Bunsen burner?
To change the flame of a Bunsen burner you must open or close the air valve, usually this is done by rotating the barrel.
Why is air mixed with the gas in the barrel of the burner before the gas will burn?
Because oxygen is required for something to burn. The air mixture adds the oxygen to the gas and allows burning to take place.
Parts of a Bunsen burner?
The parts of a Bunsen burner has collar,base.air hole and barrel. Collar : Adjust size of air hole Base: Support Bunsen Burner Air hole: Allow air to enter air hole Barrel:To ensure the flame is adjusted to a suitable position
Function of terril burner?
Terrill burner is used to adjust the air and gas supply and is composed of different parts with different functions. Its parts are the barrel turns, air vents, gas inlet and needle valve.
What are the functions of the parts of a Bunsen burner?
The parts of a Bunsen burner include: the barrel, gas hose, base, collar, air hole and gas flow valve. The Bunsen burner is a small adjustable gas burner that is mainly used in scientific laboratories.
What piece of the Bunsen burner has to be moved to change the type of flame useds?
To change the flame of a Bunsen burner you must open or close the air valve, usually this is done by rotating the barrel.
