The hotter a hydrocarbon gas burns, the bluer the flame. An orange flame indicates a cool flame with incomplete combustion since soot (unburnt carbon) glows orange. Hydrogen gas burns so completely and so hot that it emits light in the ultraviolet. You cannot see a hydrogen gas flame. Alcohol fires, similarly, tend to burn very efficiently and are nearly invisible--as anybody who watches NASCAR races knows.

A non metal which burns with a blue flame?

Sulfur is a non-metal that can burn with a blue flame. When ignited, sulfur reacts with oxygen in the air to produce sulfur dioxide gas, which burns with a characteristic blue flame.


What gas is in the UK and burns with a blue flame if there is plenty of air?

Domestic gas in the UK comes from the North Sea. This either comes directly from English or Scottish sources or from Norway via an undersea pipeline.


What gas comes from under the north sea and burns with a blue flame?

The gas that comes from under the North Sea and burns with a blue flame is methane (natural gas). Methane is a commonly extracted gas from offshore platforms in the North Sea and is used for fuel and heating purposes. Its blue flame is characteristic of its clean combustion.


When gas cooker gas burns with blue flame is it chemical or physical reation?

Burning is a chemical reacyion, an oxidation.


Why does natural gas burn blue?

Natural gas burns blue because of the chemical composition of methane, which is the main component of natural gas. When methane burns, it produces a clean and efficient flame that appears blue due to the complete combustion process.


What is the color of the flame of a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen?

The flame of a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen would appear pale blue. This is because the hydrogen gas burns with a pale blue flame and the nitrogen present does not contribute any color to the flame.


Does flame of a gas stove emit light?

Yes, the flame of a gas stove emits light. When the gas burns, it produces a yellow or blue flame that produces visible light as a byproduct of the combustion process.


What is the gas in the gas taps and comes from under the north sea. It burns with a blue flame if there is plenty of air?

The gas you are referring to is likely natural gas, which is a fossil fuel found beneath the Earth's surface. When burned with sufficient oxygen, natural gas produces a blue flame due to complete combustion. It is commonly used for heating, cooking, and electricity generation due to its relatively clean burning properties.
