How would you set the Bunsen burner flame for normal heating?

To set the Bunsen burner flame for normal heating, start by opening the air hole at the bottom of the burner. Then light the burner and adjust the air hole until you achieve a stable blue flame with a light blue inner cone. This flame is ideal for general heating purposes. Adjust the flame height as needed by controlling the fuel and air mixture.

What is the hottest part of the roaring Bunsen burner flame?

The blue part of the flame, the cone in the middle is the hottest, the flame cools as it gets further away from the burning centre, this is similar to the sun where the outer surface of the sun is significantly cooler compared to the inside.


What would you use a roaring Bunsen burner flame for?

Most things in chemistry.. Usually you would use a blue Bunsen flame (half open at the bottom) for heating almost everything. The yellow flame is only a safety flame, as you can't see a blue one all that well, and it's not used for heating because it produces soot

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.
