A bunsen burner (as used in a science lab or science classroom) will burn quietly, and a flickery yellow (like a wax candle) if the air hole is closed, or closed too much. If the air holes is opened, the flame will turn bluish and become noisy and hotter as more air mixes with the gas.

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.
Why is a Bunsen burner not used for heating when the air hole is closed?
When the air hole is closed, the flame is a luminous flame. This flame is not ideal for heating for the following reasons: it is not as hot as the non-luminous flame it is very unstable it produces a lot of soot thus, only non-luminous flames (the blue one) is ideal for heating. :)
What is the name of the flame in Bunsen burners when the air hole is half opn?
The flame in a Bunsen burner with the air hole half open is called a yellow, luminous flame. This type of flame is inefficient as it produces soot and is cooler compared to a blue flame. Adjusting the air hole helps control the type of flame produced by the Bunsen burner.
What is the name when the air hole is closed on a Bunsen burner?
The name is a "safety flame". This is when the air hole on the Bunsen burner is closed, resulting in a flame with a yellow, sooty appearance. It is used for low-temperature heating applications.
Why does a Bunsen burner have an air hole?
The air hole on a Bunsen burner allows for the adjustment of the air-fuel mixture, controlling the intensity and type of flame produced. By regulating the amount of air entering the burner, the user can achieve either a non-luminous (blue) flame with complete combustion or a luminous (yellow) flame with incomplete combustion.
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 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.
How can a student change a luminowhat would need to be done to a Bunsen in order to change a luminous yellow flame into a non luminous blue flameus yellow flame into a non luminous blue flame?
A blue flame contains lots of oxygen compared to the yellow flame. So the only thing you should do is decrease the oxygen supply
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.
How can you make a safety flame on a Bunsen burner?
To create a safety flame on a Bunsen burner, first close the air hole at the base of the burner fully to shut off the air supply. Then, light the burner using a match or a striker. Adjust the air hole to allow only enough air in to produce a small, non-luminous blue flame. This flame is safer as it produces less heat and reduces the risk of accidents.
Why is a luminous flame formed when the air hole is closed?
The luminous flame is present when the air valve is closed because of an incomplete combustion process and the burning of trapped carbon (soot).
Why is a Bunsen burner not used for heating when the air hole is closed?

What is appearance of a flame that is used for heating?

What is makes the flame luminous?
How: by opening up the air hole on a Bunsen burner after it is turned on.........What: Some atoms or molecules are not luminous when hot. They emit light outside the spectrum we can see, like CO2 emits infrared. Others only emit a faint color in the flame.The non-luminous is made when there is a complete combustion or complete burning process. It happens when there is more than the enough oxygen in the surroundings or in the place where the process will happen.
