Non-luminous flame should be used for heating in the because the flame is steady and produce little or no soot. Non-luminous flame is very hot thus, it is recommen- dable to use for laboratory purposes. Luminous flame is unsteady while non-lumi- nous flame is steady. Another reason of using non-luminous flame because the flame of non-luminous is blue, and not visible unlike the luminous flame which is yellow in colour and visible.

Should a luminous or non luminous Bunsen flame be used for heating in the laboratory and why?

Characteristics of luminous flame?
Non luminous zone is the zone of a flame which is also the hottest zone of the flame as it is mostly in contact with oxygen. It is also called invisible zone.
Why is it advisable to turn a luminous flame to a non luminous flame when the flame is not in use?
Turning a luminous flame to a non-luminous flame when not in use conserves fuel because non-luminous flames burn more efficiently. A non-luminous flame produces less soot and smoke, making it safer and better for indoor air quality.
What happen to the charcoal if you spray to the non-luminous flame?
If you spray charcoal onto a non-luminous flame, the charcoal will burn due to the presence of oxygen in the flame. The heat from the flame will cause the charcoal to ignite and combust, creating a bright and hot flame.
What is luminous flame and Explain why it takes a longer time to heat equal amount of water using a luminous flame?
A luminous flame is one that emits light due to incomplete combustion of fuel. It takes longer to heat an equal amount of water using a luminous flame because a significant amount of heat energy is lost as light instead of being transferred to the water. This means less heat is available to raise the temperature of the water, resulting in a longer heating time.
