Does a blue flame require less air or more?
A blue flame typically requires more air because it indicates complete combustion of the fuel, resulting in a clean and efficient burn. The presence of excess oxygen is what creates the blue color in the flame.
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.
Is sodium easily burn with a small flame in air?
Sodium is highly reactive with air and can ignite spontaneously. A small flame is not required to ignite sodium, as it reacts vigorously with oxygen in the air, resulting in a bright yellow flame and production of sodium oxide.
What is the function of the air jet?
to feed oxygen to the flame allowing it to burn
How do you make the burner burn blue flame?
To make the burner burn a blue flame, ensure that the air intake is adjusted correctly so that the right ratio of air and gas is being mixed. A blue flame indicates complete combustion and is typically achieved by allowing enough air into the burner. Adjust the air shutter or venturi to achieve a blue flame.
How do you obtain blue flame on burn-sen burner?
Increase the air flow by opening the circular valve on the stem of the burner. This will cause the flame to burn more intensely and with a blue flame. When the valve is closed, the flame will burn yellow and cooler - more like a wax candle's flame.
What gas in the air is needed for something to burn?
Oxygen is needed to feed the flame.
Does a fossil fuel burn in the air?
All fuels that 'burn' require air or an oxygen source for combustion. Therefore,fossil fuel also burn in the air.
Does the blue flame on a Bunsen burner need the air hole open or shut?
It needs to be open to create the hot, blue flame that roars. If the air hole is shut, the flame will burn yellow, similar to a candle.
How does a candle burn in the air?
A candle is able to burn in the air due to the presence of oxygen. The wick of the candle (usually made up of braided cotton) "draws" the wax up to the flame, providing the flame with combustible material to continue burning.
How hot does air need to be to burn?
For air to burn, it must reach temperatures around 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit (538 degrees Celsius). This is the temperature at which the oxygen in the air will help sustain a flame.
What happens to the flame when you open and close the air hole?
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.
