Show transcript
The heavy base of a Bunsen burner does not get hot Opening the air hole on a Bunsen burner changes the flame from orange and sooty to a hotter, cleaner, blue flame. Adjusting the gas tap controls the size of the Bunsen burner flame. A splint used to light a Bunsen burner should be lit from the nearest Bunsen burner that is already lit. A lit splint should be carried with the flame angled slightly downwards and shielded by the other hand.
