Bunsen burner flame sequence
Bunsen burner flame sequence. Montage showing how the flame of a bunsen burner varies from yellow and flickering to jet-like and blue. This device burns hydrocarbon gases to produce a flame. It is used in the laboratory as a heat source in experiments, or for flame tests. The flame is controlled with a vent that is closed to produced the yellow flames, but when fully open draws air into the combustion mixture, leading to a stronger, hotter, blue flame.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a mesmerizing sequence of the Bunsen burner flame. The montage beautifully captures the transformation of the flame, starting from a gentle yellow flickering and progressing to a fierce jet-like blue blaze. The Bunsen burner, an essential laboratory tool, utilizes hydrocarbon gases to generate this controlled fire. It serves as a vital heat source for experiments and is commonly employed in flame tests. The secret behind this remarkable metamorphosis lies in the vent control mechanism. When closed, the vent restricts air intake and produces mellow yellow flames. However, when fully open, it draws more air into the combustion mixture, resulting in a stronger and hotter blue flame. This quartet of images perfectly illustrates these varying types of Bunsen burner flames. With its black background enhancing its visual impact, this studio shot highlights both the scientific significance and aesthetic appeal of fire's dance within controlled conditions. Chemistry enthusiasts will appreciate how this composite image symbolizes combustion processes while showcasing different temperatures through color variations. Without mentioning commercial use or any specific company affiliation, Science Photo Library has once again captured an intriguing moment that combines physics with chemistry seamlessly. Through their lens expertise and attention to detail, they have provided us with an artistic portrayal that celebrates laboratory equipment like the Bunsen burner while shedding light on fundamental concepts such as incomplete versus complete combustion and oxygen's role in temperature regulation.
