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.


What two flames flickers non-luminous or luminous?

The two flames that flicker both non-luminous and luminous are a candle flame and a gas stove flame. When burning normally, these flames emit light due to combustion. However, if they are disturbed or lack sufficient oxygen, they can flicker and may become non-luminous.


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. :)


Which portion of non luminous flame is the hottest?

The hottest portion of the non luminous flame is the inner cone (light blue center).


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.

Is non luminous flame steady or unsteady?

Non-luminous flame should be used for heating in the because the flame is steady and produce little or no soot. Non-luminous flame is very hot thus, it is recommen- dable to use for laboratory purposes. Luminous flame is unsteady while non-lumi- nous flame is steady. Another reason of using non-luminous flame because the flame of non-luminous is blue, and not visible unlike the luminous flame which is yellow in colour and visible.


Why is it advisable to turn a luminous flame to a non luminous flame when the flame is not in use?

Turning a luminous flame to a non-luminous flame when not in use conserves fuel because non-luminous flames burn more efficiently. A non-luminous flame produces less soot and smoke, making it safer and better for indoor air quality.


Should a luminous or non luminous Bunsen flame be used for heating in the laboratory and why?

Non-luminous flame should be used for heating in the laboratory because the flame is steady and produce little or no soot.Non-luminous flame is very hot thus, it is recommendable to use for laboratory purposes.Luminous flame is unsteady while non-luminous flame is steady.Another reason of using non-luminous flame because the flame of non-luminous is blue, and not visible unlike the luminous flame which is yellow in colour and visible.


Which type of flame should use in laboratory luminous or non luminous?

Non- luminous flame should be used as it is steady and produces little or no soot.

Which flame represents complete combustion?

Non-luminous flame


A non luminous flame should be put off or adjusted to a luminous flame. Explain?

fire


What happen to the charcoal if you spray to the non-luminous flame?

If you spray charcoal onto a non-luminous flame, the charcoal will burn due to the presence of oxygen in the flame. The heat from the flame will cause the charcoal to ignite and combust, creating a bright and hot flame.


What does a non-luminous flame contains?

peanuts


What happen if heat is applied mat the bottom of the test tube?

differentiate luminous flame from non-luminous flame


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.
