As more air enters the Bunsen Burner, the flame turns from a flickering (wax candle effect) yellow to a fierce sounding blue, much hotter, flame.

How the flame produced when the air holes were closed. if the the flame was luminous what made it so?

When air holes are closed, oxygen supply decreases, leading to incomplete combustion and the production of soot particles. These soot particles can get heated up to incandescence and emit visible light, creating a luminous flame. The presence of carbon in the soot is what causes the flame to appear luminous.


What happens to the flame if the air holes are open too much?

If the air holes are open too much, it can lead to an influx of oxygen that may cause the flame to burn too hot and inefficiently. This can result in increased fuel consumption, uneven heating, and even potential safety hazards. Adjusting the air holes to the correct setting helps maintain a steady and controlled flame.


In luminous flame the flame is produce when the air hole is open or close?

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 happen to the flame when the air holes are closed of the bunsen burners?

When the air holes of a Bunsen burner are closed, the flame will turn yellow and become sooty due to incomplete combustion. This is because the lack of oxygen restricts the amount of air reaching the flame, leading to inefficient burning of the fuel gas.


Why is it safer to close the air holes to obtain a luminous flame?

Oh, dude, closing the air holes restricts the airflow to the flame, which reduces the amount of oxygen available for combustion. This makes the flame less intense and decreases the chances of it getting out of control. So, yeah, it's safer because you're basically suffocating the flame a bit. Like, it's like putting a lid on a pot to simmer down the heat.

What happened to the flame as you covered the air holes?

The flame will start to weaken and eventually go out as you cover the air holes. This is because the flame needs oxygen to sustain combustion, and by covering the air holes, you are restricting the flow of air needed for the flame to burn.


What flame is what you called when air holes are closed?

Safety flame


When evaporating dish is held over the flame ( air holes are closed )?

I assume the air holes are on a bunsen burner? In which case, when the air hole is closed the flame glows yellow, is less hot, and is more like the flame on a wax candle. When the air hole is opened, air is drawn in and the flame burns blue and produces a fiercer heat.


What causes the luminousity of a flame?

Flame luminosity occurs because of lack of oxygen. Also, the air holes in the Bunsen burner affects the flame.


What influence does opening and closing the air holes of the Bunsen burner have on the amount of air mixing with the gas?

Opening the air holes increases the amount of air mixing with the gas, resulting in a hotter and more efficient flame. Closing the air holes reduces the amount of air mixing with the gas, leading to a cooler and less efficient flame. Adjusting the air holes allows for better control of the flame temperature.


Do closing air-holes on a Bunsen burner make the flame hotter?

Because more air is able to fuel the flame's reaction; the collar at the bottom of the tube is adjusted so more air can mix with the gas before combustion, the flame will burn hotter.

My dad opened his shed one day to find it half full of sand he cleared it but at Christmas it happened again there are no large holes for the sand to come through?

You have termites in there-their droppings look like sand


What is turned to used to change the type of flame a Bunsen burner produces?

You would turn the collar on a Bunsen Burner so that the holes are exposing the flame to more oxygen to produce a blue flame. Close the holes by turning the collar to turn it back to the yellow (dirty) flame.
