What kind of combustion is observed in alkanes? Why do air holes of a gas burner have to be adjusted when vessel being heated gets blackened by the flame? -Science

Description : What kind of combustion is observed in alkanes? Why do air holes of a gas burner have to be adjusted when vessel being heated gets blackened by the flame? -Science

Last Answer : Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons and generally burn in air with a blue, non-sooty flame. If the bottoms of the cooking vessels in our homes are getting blackened, it shows that the air holes of the gas stove are getting blocked and the fuel is not burning completely.

In luminous flame the flame is produce when the air hole is open or close?

Description : In luminous flame the flame is produce when the air hole is open or close?

Last Answer : A bunsen burner (as used in a science lab or science classroom) will burn quietly, and a flickery yellow (like a wax candle) if the air hole is closed, or closed too much. If the air holes is opened, the flame will turn bluish and become noisy and hotter as more air mixes with the gas.
