What is the meaning of smolder?
Burn slowly with smoke but no flame.
When you light a match to clear bathroom odors does the flame burn the odor molecules or does the smoke just mask the odor?
The flame from the match does not burn the odor molecules themselves, but rather oxidizes some of the volatile compounds in the air that are causing the odor. The smoke from the match can help mask the odor temporarily by introducing its own scent, but the primary mechanism for odor reduction is through oxidation.
What is smoldering flame?
A smoldering flame is a type of combustion that occurs without a visible flame, typically characterized by glowing embers and the release of smoke. It often happens when materials, such as wood or charcoal, burn at low temperatures with limited oxygen, resulting in incomplete combustion. This process can produce hazardous gases and can be difficult to extinguish, as it may continue to burn slowly for an extended period. Smoldering flames are commonly associated with wildfires and can pose significant risks to both health and safety.
What compound burns with a black flame?
Carbon-containing compounds, such as hydrocarbons or organic materials like paper, can produce a black flame when burned due to the incomplete combustion process generating soot particles that emit black smoke and flame.
How do you produce such flame?
Burn hydrogen
What is the meaning of smolder?
Burn slowly with smoke but no flame.
What two chemicals burn without flame?
methanol
What is an eight letter word starting with s for burn without flame?
scalding
Does there have to be fire to get smoke?
No, not at all. There can be heat without flame. Something can smolder and put out more smoke than something that is at a rolling fire.
If a plant and a burning candle are placed under a bell jar will the candle burn?
No, the candle will not burn because the flame will consume the oxygen inside the bell jar, creating a vacuum and extinguishing the flame. Oxygen is necessary for combustion to occur, and without it, the candle cannot burn.
What does a flame need to burn?
For a flame to burn it needs fuel, oxygen, and heat.
What flame produce more soot and smoke?
A yellow, smoky flame with a flickering appearance typically produces more soot and smoke compared to a clean, blue flame. This is due to incomplete combustion, which occurs when there isn't enough oxygen present to fully burn the fuel. It's important to ensure proper ventilation and adjust the air-to-fuel ratio to minimize the production of soot and smoke.
How does the color of the flame affect the smoke produced?
The color of the flame can indicate the completeness of combustion. A blue flame typically indicates efficient combustion with minimal smoke, while a yellow or orange flame can signify incomplete combustion resulting in more smoke being produced.
When burning a candle where does the smoke originate?
The wax and the wick burn, but not completely, the unburnt part being mainly carbon n the form of very small particles. These are quite hot and glow white, yellow, and red, and are resonsible for the 'flame' and its colour. After the particles leave the immediate area of the flame they cool down and don't glow any more. They are now the smoke.
Why does a candle flame go out with types of lids?
When you place a lid over a candle flame, it cuts off the supply of oxygen necessary for the flame to burn. Without oxygen, the combustion process cannot continue, leading to the flame going out.
When you light a match to clear bathroom odors does the flame burn the odor molecules or does the smoke just mask the odor?
The flame from the match does not burn the odor molecules themselves, but rather oxidizes some of the volatile compounds in the air that are causing the odor. The smoke from the match can help mask the odor temporarily by introducing its own scent, but the primary mechanism for odor reduction is through oxidation.
What equipment is the Bunsen burner?
It is used in chemisty to provide a hot, invisible flame without smoke. It is reliable and simple.
