No it is not essential. It will burn in air or oxygen if ignited by some spark or match but there are many other ways to get burning in chemistry. The requirements for burning are fuel, oxygen and heat. Oxygen can be supplied by the air for many fires. Heat must often be introduced initially to ignite the fuel but the heat of combustion will then be enough to sustain the burning. Fuel could be methane but there are many other potential fuels in chemistry, for example hydrogen, propane, wood ... Many dry foodstuffs will burn in air if lit.

What is the balanced equation of a Bunsen burner?
The balanced equation for a Bunsen burner is CH4 (methane) + 2O2 (oxygen) -> CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 2H2O (water) + heat. This represents the combustion of methane in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat.
Natural gas is methaneCH4 it is burned in a Bunsen burner complete the word equation for the chemical reaction in the clear blue flame?
Methane + oxygen gas ------> carbon dioxide and water(CH4 + 2 02 ------> C02 + 2 H20 )
Why the dominant color of a nonluminous flame on a Bunsen burner blue?
The dominant color of a nonluminous flame on a Bunsen burner is blue. Whereas, the dominant color of a luminous flame on a Bunsen burner is orange.
Why is there a yellow flame on the Bunsen burner?
The yellow color is from the incandescence of not burned soot particles.
Why did Robert Bunsen improve the Bunsen burner?
He was a pioneer in Photo Chemistry and also in Organoarsenic chemistry
What is the balanced equation of a Bunsen burner?
The balanced equation for a Bunsen burner is CH4 (methane) + 2O2 (oxygen) -> CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 2H2O (water) + heat. This represents the combustion of methane in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat.
What gasses come from a Bunsen burner?
The Bunsen burner uses natural gas to burn. Methane, CH4. Below is the equation of Bunsen burner combustion. CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O Methane burns combined with oxygen gas ( with ignition from a flame ) from the air and carbon dioxide and water are the products of this Bunsen burner reaction.
What are burner used for?
A Bunsen burner is a gas burner. It is used to warm or heat the substances. Methane is used in this burner.
What happens when methane is burnt in the Bunsen burner?
When methane is burnt in a Bunsen burner, it undergoes combustion with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor. This reaction releases heat and light, which is used to provide a hot, blue flame in the Bunsen burner for heating purposes.
Natural gas is methaneCH4 it is burned in a Bunsen burner complete the word equation for the chemical reaction in the clear blue flame?
Methane + oxygen gas ------> carbon dioxide and water(CH4 + 2 02 ------> C02 + 2 H20 )
What burner used in chemistry?
In chemistry, a Bunsen burner is commonly used to generate a flame for heating, sterilizing, or reacting with chemicals. It produces a hot, blue flame by mixing gas (such as methane or natural gas) with air and igniting it.
What two substances are reacting when a Bunsen Burner is ignited?
The substances of methane (CH4), also known as natural gas, and air (O2) mix to start a Bunsen Burner.
Why the dominant color of a nonluminous flame on a Bunsen burner blue?
The dominant color of a nonluminous flame on a Bunsen burner is blue. Whereas, the dominant color of a luminous flame on a Bunsen burner is orange.
Why is there a yellow flame on the Bunsen burner?
The yellow color is from the incandescence of not burned soot particles.
When did Robert Bunsen invent the Bunsen burner?
Robert Bunsen invented the Bunsen Burner in 1867.
Did Bunsen create the Bunsen burner?
Robert Bunsen invented the Bunsen burner if that is what you mean?
