Study Notes
Bunsen Burner Components
-
Inner Cone:
- Represents the hottest part of the flame, specifically the tip of the blue inner cone.
-
Chimney or Barrel:
- Designed to elevate the height of the flame, allowing for easier manipulation and use during experiments.
-
Air Hole:
- Enables flame adjustment from luminous (yellow) to non-luminous (blue), promoting optimal combustion through the mixing of gases.
-
Rubber Tubing:
- Functions as the conduit, transporting gas from the gas tap on the laboratory bench to the Bunsen burner.
-
Base:
- Provides stability to the burner, minimizing the risk of tipping over and causing a fire hazard on the work surface.
-
Heat Proof Mat:
- Essential for protecting laboratory surfaces from damage during the operation of the Bunsen burner.
-
Outer Cone:
- Cooler than the inner cone, contributing to the overall structure and effectiveness of the flame.
