When you open the air hole, more oxygen is supplied to the flame, causing it to burn brighter and hotter. Closing the air hole restricts the oxygen supply, leading to a smaller and weaker flame, or it may extinguish the flame if there is not enough oxygen to sustain it.

Is a Bunsen flame hottest when the hole is open or close?

A Bunsen flame is hottest when the air hole is open. When the air hole is open, more oxygen can mix with the gas, resulting in a hotter and more efficient flame. Closing the air hole restricts the amount of oxygen, leading to a cooler flame.


Why is it dangerous to light a Bunsen burner with a air hole open?

With the air hole fully open, the flame will be fierce, but I doubt if it can be said to be dangerous. Simply close the air hole a little.


What is the name of the flame when the air hole of a Bunsen burner is open?

Air hole fully open gives a 'roaring blue flame'


The uses of Bunsen burner?

To heat chemicals or substances in science lab for experiment. There is an air hole in the Bunsen burner where you can screw loose to have open air hole that is the blue flame which is hotter. When there is a close air hole then the flame would be orange in color which is not as hot compared to the blue flame.


What do you call an air hole open flame on an bunson burner?

An open flame above an air hole on a Bunsen burner is called a roaring flame. It occurs when the air hole is fully open and allows for more oxygen to mix with the gas, creating a hotter and louder flame. Adjusting the air hole can help control the flame temperature and intensity.


What happens when air hole in Bunsen burner is half open?

A hot flame is obtained (but not the hottest) with a color violet-white.


When the air hole is half open what is the flame called?

When the air hole is half open, the flame is called a "medium" or "moderate" flame. This means it is not burning too high or too low and is at an optimal level for cooking. Adjusting the air hole can help control the intensity of the flame.


Is the flame steady when the Bunsen burner's air hole is half open?

No, the flame will not be steady when the air hole is half open. The air hole controls the amount of oxygen reaching the flame, so having it only half open will disrupt the flame's stability, causing it to flicker or sputter. Adjusting the air hole to the correct setting will help achieve a steady flame.


How do you make a roaring flame on the Bunsen burner?

To get a roaring (blue) flame you simply turn the sleeve on the Bunsen burner's chimney to completely open the air hole under it. The new blue flame will be hard to see so close the air hole afterwards to make a visible flame.


What happens when the air hole is wide open in a Bunsen burner?

Flame is stronger since there is no way for the gas to escape but through the top.


What is the flame call when the air hole is not fully open?

You think probable to a diffusion flame.


What happens when a Bunsen burner air hole is half open?

When the air hole is opened completely then the flame would turn blue indicating it is very hot. If you closed it the flame will be yellow indicating that it is not as hot (also called the safety flame). So if you half opened the hole then the flame would be hot but not as hot as the blue flame, due to the air flow mixing with the gas inside.
