By this I'm thinking your talking about a Bunsen burner? A flame should never be left unattended. You should have someone supervise it while you go or if this isn't a possibility then turn it off and then once you return put it back on. If none of this are possible turn the flame down onto a low heat ( i think it is a yellow flame) and make sure nothing around it can catch on fire/ no one else could knock it over.

At what point does ice melt over a bunson burner?

Ice begins to melt when its temperature reaches 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), transitioning from a solid to a liquid state. When exposed to a Bunsen burner, the heat from the flame will increase the temperature of the ice, causing it to melt more rapidly.

What is the functions of all the parts in a Bunsen burner?

Funtions of the Bunsen burner: air-hole: to control the amount of air let into the Bunsen burner for combustion. barrel: To allow the flame to beat a suitable height for burning. base: To support the Bunsen burner so that it will not fall over. collar: helps to adjust the gas being produced gas tap: to store gas. jet: To allow gas to enter the Bunsen Burner ( by helpingppl) Flame: the one part you don't want to forget


How much oxygen goes into a Bunsen burner when the flame is blue?

In a Bunsen burner with a blue flame, the ratio of oxygen to gas is approximately 1:3. This means that for every molecule of oxygen, about three molecules of gas are present in the mixture. This ratio allows for complete combustion of the gas, resulting in a clean, blue flame.


What is the chimney or barrel on the Bunsen burner?

If you are referring to the flue located at the bottom of the burner, it is used to control how much air is fed to the flame. The more air that that you allow to enter (i.e. uncovering the opening) the higher the flame will get and vice versa.

What happpens to the flame when you slowly turn the gas off in a Bunsen burner?

When you reduce the gas, the flame goes down because you are starving the flame. Slowly turning off the gas is the correct way to put out a Bunsen burner. Never blow it out or gas will collect in the room.


How do you regulate the size of a flame when using a Bunsen Burner?

To regulate the size of a flame on a Bunsen burner, twist the collar on the base of the burner to control the air intake. Opening the air hole wider will result in a larger, more intense flame, while closing it will create a smaller, more controlled flame. Adjust the collar until you achieve the desired flame size.

What should you do if your Bunsen burner goes out?

Shut off the gas and let any free gas clear out. The next thing you should do is check the lines to see if there is a leak. Next, check to see if the knobs controlling the air inlet and gas inlet are correct. If the air inlet is closed, there will be no combustion and no flame. Same goes for the gas inlet. Fiddle with these until you have the flame desired. If this does not fix the problem of the burner going out, try a different one.
