This is not a very well worded question. What do you mean by why should it be used? I Bunsen burner is used for heating things, usually in a lab setting.
WHO is teaching you to light Bunsen burners with matchsticks? That is so unsafe and wrong. You can get burned really easily like that, and Bunsen burner burns are always bad. Go to a hardware store and spend $5 on a spark lighter, like welders use to light their torches. Those are a safe way to light your burner.
because.
You should check if the gas works and that the air hole is closed then you light it .You will need to use a match to light it.If it doesn't light the rubber tubing might be blocked or the gas does not work.
The hole on a Bunsen burner should be closed to create a safety flame. This flame is smaller and more controlled, reducing the risk of accidents.
The blue flame of a Bunsen burner is caused by complete combustion of the gas. It indicates that the gas is burning efficiently and at the hottest possible temperature. The blue flame is preferred for heating and sterilizing purposes in laboratories.

Closing the airhole when lighting the Bunsen burner helps create a fuel-rich environment, allowing for easier ignition. As the flame stabilizes, the airhole can then be adjusted to control the type of flame produced.
A lit Bunsen burner should never be left unattended because it poses a fire hazard. If unattended, the flame could accidentally ignite nearby materials or equipment leading to a potential fire or injury. It is important to always remain present when working with a lit Bunsen burner to ensure safety.
A lit Bunsen burner should never be near alcohol because alcohol is flammable and highly combustible. If the alcohol were to accidentally catch fire from the Bunsen burner, it could cause a dangerous and uncontrollable fire. It is important to always follow proper safety protocols and keep flammable substances away from open flames.
The safety flame on a Bunsen burner is typically the smallest, pale blue flame that has a well-defined inner cone. This flame is less likely to produce soot or cause accidental fires compared to larger, more intense flames.
A Bunsen burner should be stored in a designated area in the laboratory that is clear from any flammable materials or sources of ignition. It is important to keep it in a safe place where it will not be knocked over or damaged.
The flame on a Bunsen burner should be blue when not in use. If the flame is yellow, it may indicate a problem with the burner, such as not enough air mixing with the gas, which can be a safety hazard.
This is not a very well worded question. What do you mean by why should it be used? I Bunsen burner is used for heating things, usually in a lab setting.
You should not use a Bunsen burner inside a lab when there are flammable materials nearby that could ignite or if there is poor ventilation that could lead to a buildup of fumes. Additionally, if the lab does not have proper safety equipment in place, it is not advisable to use a Bunsen burner.
Because if the air hole was wide open, the flame will be blue, which is going to be really hot so you have to leave it at a safety yellow flame which is when the air hole is closed when lit. It could be dangerous to leave a Bunsen burner on a blue flame. this is confusing, explain more clearly, geez is dat too much to ask?
