The rubber tube of a Bunsen burner carries the gas to the burner from the gas tap on the laboratory bench. The material is rubber to enable flexibility to allow the tube to bend around other equipment on a laboratory bench and generally allow ease of movement of the burner.

If the tubing is not properly secured, gas could leak out from the gas supply rather than going straight to the burner. This will not only reuce the potential of heat created by the burner but allow escaping gas to be a potential source of explosion or fire. In some areas of the world coal gas is still used. This is also poisonous when airbourne.

For the gas to travel in a controlled manner from the gas supply into the bunsen burner and ultimately to the flame.

There is a little metal part just smaller than the tube's circumference near the bottom that it slips over. The other end is attached to the fuel supply.

Something that you connect with a gas tap to produce fire. The possible gases could be Methane(CH4), Hydrogen(H2), Oxygen(O2) and ect ect.
