because when heated, n2o would decompose into n2 and o2. o2 as you know is required for fire to burn. the more o2, the more energy is release therefore, higher temperature.

Why did you fell heat from the flame even if you did not touch it?

You are able to feel heat from a flame even if you do not touch it because heat travels through the air via radiation. When a flame is present, it emits infrared radiation that can be felt by your skin as warmth.


What is N2O used for?

N2O, also known as nitrous oxide, is commonly used as a sedative in medical and dental procedures. It is also used as a propellant in whipped cream dispensers and in racing cars to increase engine performance. Additionally, N2O is a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.


Which flame on a Bunsen burner is used to heat chemicals?

It depends what you want to do! A blue flame is typically much hotter than a yellow flame. Sometimes you want to heat something very hot, and sometimes you want to heat something gently... and so you can choose which part of the flame best suits the purpose! blue flame


Why can't you heat an object with the safety flame on a Bunsen burner?

The safety flame on a Bunsen burner is a low, cool flame that helps prevent accidental ignition of flammable materials. It does not produce enough heat to effectively heat an object. To heat an object, the Bunsen burner must be adjusted to produce a hotter, blue flame by increasing the airflow.

How do you increase the temperature of a yellow flame coming out of a busen burner?

You can't it is always the same. You only use the blue flame to heat things because the yellow flame is the safety flame and the blue flame is hotter.


In an experiment what is a heat used for?

A heat is used to increase the thermal energy in whatever you are testing. In a typical classroom situation, the heat will be supplied by a Bunsen Burner, which provides a flame. This flame is then used to heat whatever object needs heating. For example, boiling a beaker of water by applying the heat under said beaker.


What is the difference between flame and heat?

"Flame" is the visible energy when burning something. "Heat" is given off a flame and countless other things. Flame produces heat, but heat does not always generate from flame, and heat almost never produces flame (friction might count). And if you want the definitions: HEAT: a form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature. FLAME: the process of combustion of materials producing heat and light and (often) smoke. If you want to think of it a different way: Flame is what you see when you look at a fire and heat if what you feel from the fire.


How you can calculate the heat irradiative by the flame?

You can calculate the heat of a flame by its color. Normally the hotter that the flame is the bluer that the flame will burn. If the flame is red that means it is burning at a cooler temerature.

The water in the beaker gets its heat energy from the?

heat source below it, such as a Bunsen burner or hot plate. Heat is transferred from the heat source to the water through conduction, causing the water to absorb the heat energy and increase in temperature.


What does a flame need to burn?

For a flame to burn it needs fuel, oxygen, and heat.


Why the direction of flame is in upward?

A flame's direction is upwards because heat rises.
