A blue flame contains lots of oxygen compared to the yellow flame. So the only thing you should do is decrease the oxygen supply

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 are the characteristics of the luminous Bunsen flame?

A luminous flame is blue and is air/oxygen rich and occurs when the Bunsen vent is open. A non-luminous falme is very yellow and smoky and is fuel rich. It occurs when the Bunsen vent is closed.


What is the Bunsen burner license?

A Bunsen burner licence is a certificate recognising a student's ability to correctly light a Bunsen burner. It may also require the student to name the parts of a Bunsen burner. yo go boy babe


Why should the Bunsen burner be left with a luminous flame if it is temporarily not in use?

Leaving the Bunsen burner with a luminous flame while not in use helps prevent gas leaks by indicating that the gas is on. It also maintains a constant temperature for when it needs to be used again quickly.


Which bunsen burner luminous or non luminous flame used in laboratory and why?

A non-luminous flame is typically used in laboratory settings when using a Bunsen burner. This flame produces a more controlled and homogeneous heat source, making it ideal for processes like heating, sterilizing, and combustion analysis. The non-luminous flame also produces less soot and is more energy efficient compared to a luminous flame.


How would you adjust the Bunsen burner to obtain a luminous flame?

To obtain a luminous flame on a Bunsen burner, adjust the air intake to decrease the amount of oxygen mixing with the gas. This can be done by partially closing the air hole at the base of the Bunsen burner. This will result in an incomplete combustion of the fuel, producing a yellow, sooty flame.


Which portion of the luminous flame is the coolest?

For a Bunsen burner the lowest temperature is in the extreme lower part of the flame.


Which flame should one use if he is leaving a Bunsen burner unattended?

Luminous since it is visible


Which flame is not suitable for heating in Bunsen burner?

The yellow flame (or luminous flame) should not be used because 1. It is less hot that the blue flame (or non-luminous flame) 2. It produces soot, as compared to the blue flame which is the clean flame


Why do you leave a Bunsen burner on a luminous flame when it is not in use?

Leaving a Bunsen burner on a luminous flame when not in use ensures that the burner is ready for immediate use and prevents the need for constant relighting, saving time and gas. It also helps maintain a stable flame and prevents potential gas leaks from the burner.
