A Bunsen burner flame turns blue when it is adjusted to have the right amount of air mixture. This blue color is due to complete combustion of gas with sufficient oxygen, resulting in a hotter and more efficient flame.

Why does it take time for a match stick to ignite in a non-luminous flame?

A non-luminous flame is a flame colored blue, and is undergoing almost-perfect or perfect combustion. Matchsticks emit luminous flames, which burn red to yellow and aren't as perfect. Matches take a second to reach full flame when put in a Bunsen burner (which emits a non-luminous flame) because the ignition of the match normally is based on the spark produced by swiping the match, which produces massive heat in a split moment. With the Bunsen burner, it takes a second for the match to reach the heat level required for ignition.


What are the products of a Bunsen flame?

methane gas combines with the oxygen in the air in a combustion reaction. the only products of combustion are carbon dioxide and water (and energy) To be more specific - Hydrocarbon methane CH4 and Oxygen 2O2 and the combustion of the gas yields Carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O CH4(g) + 2O2 ----> CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

What would you do without Bunsen burner?

If you need to heat something: use an electric hot plate, water bath, or incubator. If you need a naked flame: light a match, lighter, or candle. If you need to work glassware: a butane lighter with a concentrated flame may work for small glassware (e.g. pipettes), for larger pieces you may need to go to a glassworking shop or find a Bunsen burner or forge.
