So it does not waste to much gas
We light a match first before turning on the gas for the Bunsen burner to prevent the gas from flowing out and potentially causing a buildup of gas without ignition. Lighting the match first ensures that the flame is present to ignite the gas as soon as it is released.
Light
You should light a Bunsen burner from the side because it allows you to control the gas flow and the flame size more easily. Lighting it from the top can be dangerous as it may cause a flashback, where the flame travels back into the gas tube.
the gas from the Bunsen burner will cause the existing flame to flare and burn the entire piece of paper and your fingers - and the lab. it's difficult to blow out the burning paper.
A splint can ignite and burn quickly, causing a rapid flame. Placing it on a heat-proof mat near an open flame like a Bunsen burner can lead to uncontrolled fires. It is safer to use a lighter or a striker to ignite the Bunsen burner instead of a splint.

It is used to light the bunsen burner.
No. You can not light a Bunsen Burner by turning on gas and oxygen. It takes a spark. (Actually, it takes a certain temperature to get the reaction started. The spark simply brings the material extremely near the spark up to that temperature.)
A Bunsen burner licence is a certificate recognising a student's ability to correctly light a Bunsen burner. It may also require the student to name the parts of a Bunsen burner. yo go boy babe
make sure that the gas ins't leaking as it can cause a fire
No, it is not safe to light a Bunsen burner with burning paper as the paper may not provide a consistent flame and could introduce contaminants to the burner. It is recommended to use a striker or a lighter to ignite the Bunsen burner's gas flame.
Matches or lighter
Turning off the Bunsen burner at the gas tap puts out the fire because the gas is a switch that lets the amount of gas that you want to burn. And if you turn it off then it would let no gas through and there for would not let the Bunsen burner light up. Hope this helps
it's to prevent a strike-back
You need something for ignition.
You need something for ignition.
To set the Bunsen burner flame for normal heating, start by opening the air hole at the bottom of the burner. Then light the burner and adjust the air hole until you achieve a stable blue flame with a light blue inner cone. This flame is ideal for general heating purposes. Adjust the flame height as needed by controlling the fuel and air mixture.
