Questions Related to combustion, fuels and flame

Middle zone is the hottest zone of a flame.

chemistry combustion structure of flame flame combustion, fuels and flame

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The outermost zone in the candle flame is the hottest zone owing to the fact that complete combustion has taken place in this region.

The substances which vapourise during burning, give flame.

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

True.
Combustible substances that vaporize during combustion give flames. So flame is nothing but the hot ignited glowing gas formed during combustion.

Artificial rubies and sapphires can be made by heating alumina in ?

  1. An oxy-hydrogen flame

  2. An oxy-acetylene flame

  3. Burning methane

  4. An electric furnace

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Artificial ruby and sapphires are manufactured from alumina to which 1.5% of magnetic iron oxide and 0.5% of titanium oxide has been added, the mixture is fused and crystallised in an oxy-hydrogen flame. It is a reducing flame.

A lilac-coloured flame is produced on heating.

  1. Potassium in a flame

  2. Cobalt in a flame

  3. Sodium in a flame

  4. Methane in oxygen

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Potassium on heating produced lilac-colured flame because on heating, an atom entities its electrons and they jump to higher energy levels. When the electron return to lower energy levels, they emit energy in the form of light. The colour produced on heating depends upon wavelength of emitted light.

If you watch a burning candle carefully, you will find different colurs in the flame. Which is the hottest part of the candle flame?

  1. The middle orange part

  2. The middle, yellow part

  3. The outermost portion that is blue

  4. The innermost black zone

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The outermost portion that is blue.

The hottest part of the candle flame is the blue part, at $1670^oF$ ($1400^oC$) i.e., the outermost portion, where the flame has the most oxygen and you are getting complete combustion.

The flame of the candle has three zones. The outer zone is blue, the middle zone is yellow and the inner zone is black. Which is correct regarding this?

  1. The outer zone is hottest hot.

  2. The middle zone is hottest

  3. The inner zone is least hot

  4. All the zones have same temperature

Show answer
Correct Option: A,C
Explanation:

Candles produce light by releasing heat. A candle flame consists of three zones. Each zone has different temperatures and colors.

  • The first zone is called the Outer zone
  • The second zone is called the Middle zone
  • The third zone is called the Inner zone

The outer zone is blue in color, due to complete combustion,. This zone is the hottest zone.

The middle one is in yellow color, which is the bright part of the flame. It is moderately hot and partial combustion of fuel takes place.

The least hot region of the flame is innermost zone. This inner zone is black in color due to the presence of unburnt wax vapors.
