There is a lack of oxygen in the flame itself (most probably because of the air holes in the Bunsen burner or of your burning device) this effect would create a luminous flame (better known as a yellow flame). A kind of flame that does not burn as hot as a non-luminous flame (better known as a blue flame)

What makes a gas flame luminous?

A gas flame appears luminous when its temperature is high enough to excite and emit light in the visible spectrum. The presence of soot or other particulates in the flame can also contribute to its luminosity by scattering light. The type of gas being burned and the combustion conditions (such as airflow) can also influence the luminosity of a gas flame.


When the Bunsen burner is on but no experiment is being carried out why is it advisable to set it to the luminous flame?

So you don't burn yourself. If it's on and you're not paying attention to it, a luminous flame is easily glimpsed in your peripheral vision. If the flame was non-luminous, it's much harder to detect and causes a greater risk. the non-luminous flame also burns much hotter.


Which flame represents complete combustion?

Non-luminous flame


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.


Which is better for cooking luminous or non-lominous flame?

For cooking, a non-luminous flame is generally better than a luminous flame. A non-luminous flame produces higher temperatures and more efficient combustion, resulting in faster and more even cooking. Luminous flames, on the other hand, are typically cooler and can leave soot on cookware, which may affect the taste and appearance of the food.

Why is it advisable to turn a luminous flame to a non luminous flame when the flame is not in use?

Turning a luminous flame to a non-luminous flame when not in use conserves fuel because non-luminous flames burn more efficiently. A non-luminous flame produces less soot and smoke, making it safer and better for indoor air quality.


When luminous flame is produced?

A non luminous flame is produced when the air valve is opened enough to allow complete combustion of the methane gas.


When is a non luminous flame produced?

A non luminous flame is produced when the air valve is opened enough to allow complete combustion of the methane gas.


When is a non-luminous flame produced?

A non luminous flame is produced when the air valve is opened enough to allow complete combustion of the methane gas.


What two flames flickers non-luminous or luminous?

The two flames that flicker both non-luminous and luminous are a candle flame and a gas stove flame. When burning normally, these flames emit light due to combustion. However, if they are disturbed or lack sufficient oxygen, they can flicker and may become non-luminous.


Is a luminous gas flame hot?

Yes, but not as hot as the blue one.

Should a luminous or non luminous Bunsen flame be used for heating in the laboratory and why?

Non-luminous flame should be used for heating in the laboratory because the flame is steady and produce little or no soot.Non-luminous flame is very hot thus, it is recommendable to use for laboratory purposes.Luminous flame is unsteady while non-luminous flame is steady.Another reason of using non-luminous flame because the flame of non-luminous is blue, and not visible unlike the luminous flame which is yellow in colour and visible.


What is the difference between luminous and non luminous?

-A non-luminous flame is when the air hole of the Bunsen burner is closed but a luminous flame is produced when the air hole is opened.-A luminous flame has an outer of orange colour and an inner of blue. A non-luminous flame has an outer of blue and an inner of orange.-A luminous flame produces soot while a non-luminous does not produce soot.-A luminous flame is weak and unsteady. A non-luminous flame is strong and steady.-A non-luminous flame is very hot while a luminous flame is not too hot.


Is the temperature of a luminous flame greater or less than that of a nonluminous flame?

a non-luminous flame- when the air hole of the Bunsen Burner is open"when the air hole is open, more oxygen can enter the burner; therefore, hotter flame will be produced."its color is transparent or blueBlue flames are the hottest flamesa luminous flame is produced when the air hole is closed.."if the air hole is closed, oxygen cannot enter the burner; therefore, least hotter because the combustion is not fully complete with least oxygenA luminous flame has an outer of orange color and an inner of blue.Luminous flames emits more light than non-luminous flames.three things to produce flame1.fuel2.oxygen3.friction or source of sparkLuminous objects emit light. The sun is luminous; the moon is non-luminous.


What is the degree of hotness of luminous flame?

The degree of a luminous flame is 100 degree .


Characteristics of luminous flame?

Non luminous zone is the zone of a flame which is also the hottest zone of the flame as it is mostly in contact with oxygen. It is also called invisible zone.
