Bunsen Burner

Welcome Viewers to my blog,

You might have seen my first blog of 2021 now this is my second. Today I'm going to tell you some of the safety rules for the Bunsen Burner. So today I lit a match for the first time because my parents never made me light up a match before. Anyways lets into it.

First, we are going to be talking about safety rules.

1. If you have long hair tie it up into a bun just in case something happens to it. 

2. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes.

3. Don't eat or drink in the lab.

4. Wear leather shoes so if you drop acid it won't get to your feet instantly.

5. Stand up during a practical so you can move back if something goes wrong.

6. Put any bags or jacket under you desks or on your seat.

7. NO RUNNING in the lab.

8. Check if all the gas is off.

9. If anything is broken tell the teacher or you'll be in bigger trouble.

Here are the steps for lighting up your Bunsen Burner. 

1. You set up your Bunsen Burner to a rubber tube.

2. Get your fireproof mat or someplace to put the Bunsen Burner because it's going to burn the thing it's under.

3. Place the rubber tube into a gas dispenser or something that can produce gas. 

4. Make sure the air hole is closed and light your match.

5. Pump up the gas and put you match over the top of the Bunsen Burner.

6.  Move it around until the gas gets caught on fire.

7. Done your finished you can open the air hole if you want hotter flames or close it for the safety flame. The safety flame will still burn you but you can see it and its less hot than the blue flame.

Here is what the Bunsen Burner Parts
