Why is it better to use a blue flame on a Bunsen burner?
It is better to use a blue flame on a Bunsen burner because it indicates complete combustion of the gas, resulting in a hotter and more efficient flame for heating or sterilizing purposes. A blue flame also produces less soot and smoke compared to a yellow or orange flame.
How does a Bunsen burner help us?
A Bunsen burner helps us by providing a controlled and adjustable flame for heating, sterilizing, and carrying out chemical reactions in a laboratory setting. It allows for precise temperature regulation and efficient heating of substances.
Bunsen burner parts?
A Bunsen burner typically consists of a base, gas inlet tube, air control collar, barrel, and burner tip. The base is used to stabilize the burner, the gas inlet tube connects to the gas source, the air control collar adjusts the air flow, the barrel houses the flame, and the burner tip is where the gas mixes with air and ignites.
What was used before the Bunsen burner?
A small fire. Remember, people didn't need Bunsen burners until they needed a constant source of heat. By the time that science required such a thing, manufacturing had advanced to the point where Bunsen burners were easy to create.
Why is a Bunsen burner better than using a candle or a fire?
Bunsen burners are preferred over candles or fires because the Bunsen burner produces a much higher temperature (noted by the blue flame) and it is much easier to contain/control a Bunsen Burner flame.
Why do you have to turn off the Bunsen burner after boiling a leaf?
Turning off the Bunsen burner after boiling a leaf is important to prevent the leaf from burning or catching fire. Boiling a leaf is typically done to soften it for further study or observation, and leaving the Bunsen burner on could result in overheating the leaf and damaging it.

What is used for heating small amounts of liquid in a science lab?
Yes they are used for heating small amounts of liquids!
Why should you never put lighted Bunsen burner under a shelf?
because the fire will burn up the shelf.
Why did Robert Bunsen invent the burner?
Because it is a much more reliable source of heat/fire: You can control the 'strength' of it too, by using the cap which has a hole in it at the bottom - by turning it, you can control the amount of oxygen being fed into the flame.
Why is it necessary to turn off a Bunsen burner when used with alcohol?
Turning off a Bunsen burner when used with alcohol is necessary to prevent any alcohol left in the burner from igniting and causing a fire hazard. Alcohol can continue to burn even when the flame is extinguished, so it is important to always ensure the burner is completely turned off.
What is being made in a Bunsen burner?
Heat/Fire lol
What is a hazard when the Bunsen burner is on the orange flame?
it might set fire
Why should a lit Bunsen burner never be near alcohol?
A lit Bunsen burner should never be near alcohol because alcohol is flammable and highly combustible. If the alcohol were to accidentally catch fire from the Bunsen burner, it could cause a dangerous and uncontrollable fire. It is important to always follow proper safety protocols and keep flammable substances away from open flames.
Why is more air needed to make the Bunsen burner flame hotter?
Because more oxygen is needed for fuel for fire.
Why you should not use a piece of burning paper to light the Bunsen burner?
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.
