Parts of a Bunsen Burner
- Collar: Regulates airflow into the burner by adjusting the air hole, essential for flame temperature control.
- Air Hole: The entry point for air that mixes with gas in the barrel, creating a hotter, blue flame when fully opened.
- Barrel: The cylindrical section that elevates the flame to an appropriate height for effective burning.
- Base: Provides stability to the Bunsen burner, ensuring it remains upright and prevents accidents.
- Gas Hose: A flexible tube connecting the burner to the gas tap, allowing gas flow when ignited.
- Blue Flame: Indicates a hotter combustion state, achieved when the air hole is open, indicating efficient gas-to-air mixing.
- Safety Flame: Characterized by a yellow or orange color, used for visual identification of the burner when not in optimal conditions.
- Gas Inlet: A mechanism for controlling gas flow into the burner, crucial for adjusting flame size and intensity.
