Can you light a Bunsen burner with a burning piece of paper?
No, it is not safe to light a Bunsen burner with a burning piece of paper because it can lead to an uncontrolled flame and potential accidents. It is recommended to use a striker or a lighter specifically designed for lighting Bunsen burners to ensure proper control of the flame.
What is wrong with using a piece of burning paper to light a Bunsen?
Using a piece of burning paper could potentially cause the flames to travel back to your hand when trying to light a Bunsen burner. It is safer to use a mechanical striker or a lighter designed for lighting Bunsen burners to prevent accidents.
Why cant paper be used to light a Bunsen burner?
Paper has a low ignition temperature, so it may burn too quickly and not sustain a flame long enough to light a Bunsen burner. Additionally, paper may produce ashes or residue that can clog the burner's openings. It's safer and more effective to use a lighter or matches to ignite a Bunsen burner.
How do the Bunsen burner looks like?
I prefer a number-two pencil and sheet of fine copier paper when drawing pictures of laboratory equipment. But the technique is pretty simple: you either get a Bunsen burner from the lab, or download a photo of one from the Internet, and sketch it.
Why does a paper snake spin when held over a Bunsen burner?
The spinning motion of the paper snake when held over a Bunsen burner is due to convection currents created by the heat rising from the flame. As the air above the flame gets hot, it rises creating a low-pressure area that causes the paper snake to rotate. This is a demonstration of the principle of convection.
Why you should not use a piece of burning paper to light the Bunsen burner?
the gas from the Bunsen burner will cause the existing flame to flare and burn the entire piece of paper and your fingers - and the lab. it's difficult to blow out the burning paper.

Can you use paper to light a Bunsen burner?
No, it is not safe to use paper to light a Bunsen burner. Paper can easily catch fire and burn rapidly, posing a safety hazard. It is better to use a proper ignition source like a match or a lighter to light a Bunsen burner.

Why is a paper spiral held above a Bunsen burner turn?
The paper spiral is turning due to convection currents created by the heat from the Bunsen burner. As the air surrounding the spiral heats up, it becomes less dense and rises. This rising hot air creates a flow pattern that causes the spiral to rotate.

What is bursen grease spot photometer?
Bunsen -- not "bursen" -- the same who invented the Bunsen Burner. Two light sources are compared by holding a slip of paper between them. A small oil or grease spot on the paper becomes nearly invisible from both sides when the intensity is equal. If a sliding card is mounted on a meter stick the distances can be measured. The intensity ratio is the square of the distance ratio. This only works with light of the same color. You should try this as it is easy to do and gives surprisingly good results.
Is burning paper a example of a exothermic reaction?
Yes, burning paper is an example of an exothermic reaction because it releases heat and light energy.
What is wrong with using a piece of paper to light a Bunsen?
Nothing much. I suppose it is very crude and because paper burns quickly and easily it can be dangerous. Better use a match.
What are two forms of energy given off when burning paper?
Light and heat.
