What causes the Bunsen burner sometimes have a blue flame and sometimes an orange flame?

The blue flame is observable when complete combustion occurs, which is when the air valve is opened enough to allow the ideal amount of oxygen. The orange flame is due to the burning of carbon particles (soot) caused by incomplete combustion, which is an effect of too little oxygen available for the reaction.


What is a regular flame on the Bunsen burner?

I am not 100% sure what you are asking here however I will do my best to answer it. The gas that is used in most bunsen burners is methane (natural gas). This is not true for all labs as I have heard of labs using town gas (which is made from distillation of coal). A regular flame on a bunsen is orange this the coolest flame (300°C) and is rarely used. more common will be the blue flame which closer to 700°C. When leaving the bunsen for any length of time the orange flame should be left on as it is easy to observe and insures the safety of your fellow class mates.


The uses of Bunsen burner?

To heat chemicals or substances in science lab for experiment. There is an air hole in the Bunsen burner where you can screw loose to have open air hole that is the blue flame which is hotter. When there is a close air hole then the flame would be orange in color which is not as hot compared to the blue flame.

The bright orange color of the flame is due to the presence of sodium ions from the salt (NaCl) in the water. When heated, the sodium ions get enough energy to become excited and emit light in the form of an orange color. This phenomenon is known as flame coloration.
