    My chemistry teacher just suddenly made us take a test in this alone with them and it's like the third week of school.. We've only practiced it once so I was really confused. Watching this helped, thank you :)

    1: Connect the hose from the burner to the gas jet
    2: close both the gas control valve and air control valve on your burner
    3: turn on the gas at source
    4: light the grill lighter.
    5: while holding the grill lighter to the burner, slowly open the gas control valve on the burner

    she said at the end, you turn the flame Yellow by adding more air in. I thought adding more air makes it turn blue

    • @denizcenikli7007
      @denizcenikli7007 4 роки тому +4

      At the beginning she said turn the barrel clockwise to completely close the air inlet. (If we close it, there will not be any air inside.) At the end she said turn the flame back to yellow by letting in more air and do this by turning the barrel in the clockwise direction. When we turn the barrel in the clockwise direction, we close the air inlet (she said this at the beginning). And if we close the air inlet, there will not be any air inside. So we are not letting more air in instead we are reducing its amount.

      She definitely said letting more air, so she made a mistake

  • @Popovishka
    @Popovishka 9 років тому +35

    At 3:20, I believe you are teaching how to shut off the bunsen burner incorrectly. Instead of "letting more air in" as you instruct to turn the flame yellow "safety flame", you should be letting LESS air in by closing the air holes.

    • @5688gamble

      Yeah, our teacher just had a valve behind his desk that would turn all the gas in the lab off, would seem like just turning the main valve off is the way to go.

    Options : 1) we can control the flame size of a bunsen burner
    2) we can control the flame size of a candle
    3) there is no advantage
    4) flame size of both candle and burner are same

    curious to know why allowing more air, turns the flame from yellow to blue color? Also, how smoke is reduced to zero? the same principles applies in car engine? pls let me knw, thanks

    • @5688gamble
      @5688gamble Рік тому

      The flame is blue because the gas molecules are excited and fluoresce and hydrogen and carbon have spectral emissions in the blue and purple regions of the spectrum, the yellow colour is due to incandescence (like in an old lightbulb) because combustion is incomplete you get particles of carbon in the form of soot, when they are heated by the flame they glow at a temperature relative to their heat in the way metal will glow red through orange to white as it gets hot, this is because the particles vibrate causing their charges to fluctuate on a micro scale and leading to a more broad emission of EM radiation, the temperature is not high enough for this to lead to a lot of blue light being emitted, there is still a blue portion to the flame but the yellowcovers most of it and the carbon continues to emit light well above where the flame would normally end.

  • @bman9469
    @bman9469 7 років тому

    When turning the burner off, the main gas valve is closed Then the burner valve to get the rest of the gas out of the tube. right?

      I did it today and I think I lit a match to start off with that I then put onto the tip of it which then started to light up when I turned the gas tap on. I did something else but it made a roaring sound and all these blue flames came up. I panicked and screamed but luckily I managed to turn it off. Also my science teacher said about turning the gas on in the room and I got scared as I thought that it was mustard gas or something 😂😂🤣
