Wing-top burners are commonly used in laboratories because they provide a stable platform for supporting glassware such as flasks or beakers during heating with a Bunsen burner. The design allows for even heating and prevents glassware from tipping over.

What is the scientific symbol for a Bunsen burner?

The scientific symbol for a Bunsen burner is a simple drawing of the device, typically represented by a small circle with a flame on top.


What is the pressure differential involved in flight?

The way an airplane wing (or helicopter rotor) works is by creating a pressure differential, or a difference in air pressure, between the top and bottom of the wing or blade. Nature abhors a vacuum, so a gas such as air will flow as quickly as needed to prevent one from forming. Curving the top of the wing forces the air to travel a further distance in the same amount of time. As the plane moves forward and the air rushes over the wing, it has less chance to press downward, allowing the air flowing beneath the wing to press upward with enough force to lift the wing (and the entire aircraft with it).


Where is the coldest part of a Bunsen burner flame?

The coldest part of a Bunsen burner flame is at the very base, where there is incomplete combustion due to lack of oxygen. The inner blue cone is the hottest part of the flame, while the outer yellow flame is cooler.


How do the Bunsen burner looks like?

I prefer a number-two pencil and sheet of fine copier paper when drawing pictures of laboratory equipment. But the technique is pretty simple: you either get a Bunsen burner from the lab, or download a photo of one from the Internet, and sketch it.


What are the high and low pressure areas of an airplane wing?

The wing of a plane typically has a curved top and a flat bottom. The airstream hitting the wing goes straight under the flat part, but has to also go up above the high part, then it meets again at the rear of the wing. The curved upper area causes low pressure by forcing air molecules to go faster across the top to reach the rear at the same time (a faster air velocity generally creates less downward pressure). The higher pressure below the wing forces the wing upward and lifts the plane off the ground.

What is a wing top or flame spreader and how is it used?

A wing top is an accessory that can be used with a Bunsen burner to provide a broad flat fan flame, similar to that of a fishtail burner. It is often used to bend glass as it spread out the heat over a larger area, making it more uniform.See the Web Links to the left for a picture.


Why a wing top is necessary in heating a glass tubing for preparing bends?

The purpose of the wing top in a glass bending is for heating large areas and smoothly bending glass because it produces a wide fan-shape flame. The wing design produces more heat and it requires a little scanning motion.

What is a wing top used for?

A wing top is typically used as a resting or perching area for birds. It provides a flat surface for birds to land on and rest. It can also be used as a platform for displaying food or other items for birds.


Why us air drag necessary for the flight of a aeroplane?

Because air drag and flow is what gives the wings lift. Air travels faster under the wing and slower over top the wing. This creates less pressure on the top of the wing providing 'lift'.


Why does the match head not ignited when it was suspended at the top of the burner?

When the match head is suspended at the top of the burner, it is not in contact with the necessary fuel (gas) and oxygen mixture required for combustion. Thus, without access to these two components, the match head will not ignite.


Is there a flame at the top of a Bunsen burner?

yes there is a flame at the top of a Bunsen burner. there are three different types light blue blue and yellow


Was the larger biplane wing on the top or bottom?

The larger wing was usually on the top.


What is the top of the Bunsen burner called?

There is no name for it. I've checked so many websites but none of them include the top part.

What is a laboratory burner and what does it do?

probably a Bunsen burner the thing that you attatch to gas taps with a tube, add a match on top of the gas and you have your " lab burner" =]


What is a chemistry wing tip?

A wing tip in chemistry refers to the tapered end of a bottle or flask that allows for controlled pouring of liquids without spillage or splashing. The design helps to facilitate precise and controlled dispensing of chemicals during experiments.
