    The document discusses the Bunsen burner and how to use it. It describes the parts of the Bunsen burner including the outer core, inner core, burner tube, stopcock, and collar. It explains how to light and adjust the burner to produce either a luminous yellow flame or a non-luminous blue flame, and that the blue flame is hotter. Experiments are described to compare the heating ability of the two flames by measuring the time it takes to boil water. The conclusion is that the blue flame is better for heating purposes.

    The key takeaways are that a Bunsen burner is used in science laboratories to heat substances, it was invented by Robert Bunsen in 1855, and has different parts like the air hole, chimney and gas tap.

    A Bunsen burner works by allowing gas to flow through its burner tube where it mixes with air and is ignited, producing two different flame types depending on whether the air hole is open or closed.

    The main parts of a Bunsen burner are the outer core, inner core, burner tube, stopcock, collar and air hole. The burner tube allows gas to flow and mix with air, while the stopcock controls gas flow and the air hole regulates airflow.

    2. Close the air hole.

    How do we use a Bunsen burner?


    3. Light a match and hold it over the chimney. Turn on the gas tap.

    The Bunsen flame I

    What will be the colour of the flame when the air hole is closed?

    This is a luminous flame.

    The Bunsen flame II


    Open the air hole slowly. What will be the colour of the flame when the air hole is opened?

    This is a non-luminous flame.

    Check point
    Use suitable words to fill in the blanks. The non-luminous flame is (a) in colour. The luminous flame is (b) in colour. The (c) flame is easier to see. (a) (b) (c) yellow blue luminous

    Which kind of flame is hotter?


    Flame I with air hole CLOSED ? yellow in colour Luminous Give out a lot of soot The flame is not so hot. Flame II with air hole OPENED blue in colour non-luminous Does not give out soot The flame is hot

    How to know which flame is hotter?


    To contact the flame with your hand?


    To measure the temperature by a thermometer?

    How to heat an object? (3)


    5. Then add 250 ml of water into the beaker

    4. Put a beaker onto the wire gauze

    Measuring the time taken to boil a certain amount of water

    Fill a beaker with 50 cm3 of tap water Set up the apparatus as shown in the diagram Heat the water with a flame of Bunsen Burner until it boils Use stop-watch to find out the time taken

    Stop-watch

    Experiments to compare which flame is hotter

    Experiment 1 with the air hole of Bunsen Burner CLOSED yellow flame

    Experiment 2 with the air hole of Bunsen Burner OPENED blue flame

    Experiment 1 (a)
    Light a Bunsen Burner
    with the air hole closed Light a match and hold it over the chimney. Turn on the gas tap

    Experiment 1 (b)
    Put a beaker of water
    with 50 cm3 of tap water onto the tripod Heat the water until it boil Record the time needed by using Stop-watch

    Experiment 2 (a)
    Light a Bunsen Burner
    with the air hole opened Light a match and hold it over the chimney. Turn on the gas tap

    Experiment 2 (b)
    Put a beaker of water
    with 50 cm3 of tap water onto the tripod Heat the water until it boil Record the time needed by using stopwatch

    Result of the experiments


    1. Which flame make the water boiled first? Yellow or blue flame?
    Ans: Blue flame

    2. Which flame is hotter?


    Ans: Blue flame

    Conclusion

    So, Blue flame is better for heating
