A blue flame is formed when the air hole on the Bunsen burner is open. The blue flame indicates complete combustion of the gas, with plenty of oxygen present for the reaction. This type of flame is hotter and more efficient for heating purposes.
Yes, the flame of a Bunsen burner with a closed air hole can still be used for heating, but it will produce a cooler, more yellow flame compared to a Bunsen burner with an open air hole. Adjusting the air hole allows for control of the flame temperature.
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.
Air hole fully open gives a 'roaring blue flame'
The air hole in a Bunsen Burner allows air to mix with the gas prior to burning so that the flame can be adjusted as desired.
The air hole on a Bunsen burner controls the amount of oxygen that mixes with the gas. By adjusting the air hole, you can control the color and intensity of the flame produced by the burner. More air creates a hotter, blue flame, while less air creates a cooler, yellow flame.

The hole on a Bunsen burner should be closed to create a safety flame. This flame is smaller and more controlled, reducing the risk of accidents.
To make the height of the flame smaller on a Bunsen burner, you can adjust the air hole at the base of the burner. By opening the air hole slightly, less oxygen will reach the flame, leading to a smaller and more controlled flame height.
To get a smaller flame on a Bunsen burner, slowly close the air hole at the base of the burner to decrease the amount of air mixing with the gas. This will result in a smaller, more controlled flame.
The orange flame in a Bunsen burner is called a "safety flame." It occurs when the air hole is partially closed, resulting in incomplete combustion of the gas. This flame is typically used when needing a less intense heat source.
The safety flame on a Bunsen burner is used when the burner is not in use to prevent accidental fires. It is a small, non-luminous flame that burns with a blue color and is created by adjusting the air hole on the burner.

The flame will be blue when the hole is fully open on a Bunsen burner. This is because the complete combustion of the gas produces a hotter flame with a blue color.
To change the type of Bunsen burner flame, adjust the air hole at the base of the burner. Closing the air hole will produce a yellow, sooty flame (reducing flame) while opening it will create a blue, non-sooty flame (oxidizing flame).
To get a small flame on a Bunsen burner, partially close the air hole at the base of the burner to restrict the amount of oxygen reaching the flame. Adjust the gas flow to a low setting before igniting the burner to achieve a small, consistent flame.
