Flame, Bunsen

The basin A is then gently heated by a small Bunsen flame, which should be carefully protected from side draughts by screens, so that the material in A receives a steady uniform supply of heat. The material vaporises, and the vapour passes up through the holes into the cold funnel C. Here it cools and condenses as fine crystals on the upper surface of the paper B and on the walls of C. When almost the whole of the material in A has vaporised, the heating is stopped and the pure sublimed material collected. In using such an apparatus, it is clearly necessary to adjust the supply of heat so that the crude material in A is being steadily vaporised, while the funnel C does not become more than luke warm. 

Hydrolysis of Ethyl Bromide. Add -a few drops of pure freshly distilled ethyl bromide to 2-3 ml. of aqueous silver nitrate solution in a test-tube and shake. Only a faint opalescence of silver bromide should be formed. -Now carefully warm the mixture in a small Bunsen flame, with gentle shaking silver bromide soon appears as a white suspension which rapidly increases in quantity and becomes a heavy precipitate. The ethyl bromide is thus moderately stable in cold water, but rapidly hydrolysed by hot water. 

For this preparation, it is particularly necessary that the sodium acetate should be free from traces of water. The anhydrous material can be prepared by gently heating the hydrated salt (CHsCOONa,3HjO) in an esaporating-basin over a small Bunsen flame. The salt dissolves in its water of ciystallisation and resolidifies as this water is driven off further heating then causes the anhydrous material to melt. Stir the molten anhydrous material to avoid charring, and then allow it to cool in a desiccator. Powder the cold material rapidly in a mortar, and bottle without delay. 

Transfer the solution into the flask, add some unglazed porcelain, and support the flask over an asbestos-covered gauze. Heat the solution cautiouslv with a Bunsen flame so that the temperature... 

Required Sulphuric acid, 27-5 ml. aniline, 24 ml. sodium nitrite, 20 g. dry potassium carbonate, 3-4 g. (To ensure that the potassium carbonate is dry, it should be gently heated in an evaporating-basin over a small Bunsen flame for 4-5 minutes with stirring, and then allowed to cool in a desiccator.)... 

Add 4 g. of malonic acid to 4 ml. of pyridine, and then add 3 1 ml. of crotonaldehyde. Boil the mixture gently under reflux over an asbestos-covered gauze, using a small Bunsen flame, for 40 minutes and then cool it in ice-water. Meanwhile add 2 ml. of concentrated sulphuric acid carefully with shaking to 4 ml. of water, cool the diluted acid, and add it with shaking to the chilled reaction-mixture. Sorbic acid readily crystallises from the solution. Filter the sorbic acid at the pump, wash it with a small quantity of cold water and then recrystallise it from water (ca, 25 ml.). The colourless crystals, m.p. 132-133°, weigh ro-i-2 g. 

It is best now to proceed as in the Skraup Synthesis (p. 297) and warm the mixture over an asbestos-covered gauze with a Bunsen flame until the reaction starts, and have at hand a duster soaked in cold water so that when the reaction starts, the heating can be at once removed and the duster wrapped round the shoulders of the flask to aid condensation. 

There is no satisfactory chemical way of distinguishing betn een ethane and methane, both of which burn with an almost non-luminous flame this fact however is quite unimportant at this stage of the investigation. Hydrogen also burns with a non-luminous flame and w hen the open end of a test-tube full of the gas is placed in a Bunsen flame, a mild explosion with a very characteristic report takes place. 

Suspend the bomb by a wire or a metal rod through F. Fill with water the annular space between the pillar F and the hole in the top of H. Now heat the base of A with a pointed flame, e.., from a blowpipe pointing upwards. The time required for heating in this way is usually about i minute, but an ordinary Bunsen flame, used without concentration on the bottom of A, may require about 4 minutes. The... 

Method 2. From chloroplatinic acid. Dissolve 3 - 5 g. of the purest commercial chloroplatinic acid (3) in 10 ml. of water contained in a 250 ml. P3rrex beaker or porcelain casserole, and add 35 g. of A.R. sodium nitrate (1), Evaporate the mixture to dryness by heating gently over a Bunsen flame whilst stirring with a glass rod. Then raise the temperature... 

The residue (5) in the distilhng flask may stUl contain a water-soluble, non-volatile acid. Cool the acid solution, neutralise it with dilute sodium hydroxide solution to Congo red, and evaporate to dryness on a water bath under reduced pressure (water pump). Heat a httle of the residual salt (G) upon the tip of a nickel spatula in a Bunsen flame and observe whether any charring takes place. If charring occurs, thus... 

Step 3. The non-steam-volatile compounds. The alkaline solution (82) remaining in the distiUing flask from Step 2 may contain water-soluble, non-volatile acidic, basic or neutral compounds. Add dilute sulphuric acid until the solution is just acid to Congo red, evaporate to dryness, and extract the residual solid with boiling absolute ethyl alcohol extraction is complete when the undissolved salt exhibits no sign of charring when heated on a metal spatula in the Bunsen flame. Evaporate the alcoholic solution to dryness and identify the residue. 

In the simple Bunsen flame on a tube of circular cross-section, the stabilization depends on the velocity variation in the flow emerging from the tube. For laminar flow (paraboHc velocity profile) in a tube, the velocity at a radius r is given by equation 20 ... 

By feeding the mixture through a converging nozzle, the velocity profile may be made nearly flat or uniform. A Bunsen flame in such a flow has a smaller range of stabiUty but the mechanism is essentially the same and the flame very closely approximates a cone. If the apex angle of the flame is , then S can be obtained from equation 21... 

The behavior of rich mixtures is compHcated by the entrainment of air at the burner port that sustains combustion of hot combustion products of the primary flame near the port. The blowoff velocity is found to increase continuously with ( ), or richer mixtures are more stable with respect to blowoff. They also have a lesser tendency toward flashback. Hence, a Bunsen flame has more latitude for stable operation if the primary mixture is rich. For this... 

Greater attention is usually paid to the results of a vertical test, in which the sample is clamped at the top end and a bunsen flame of height 19 mm is applied to the lower end at a point 9.5 mm above the top of the bunsen burner (i.e. halfway along the flame). The material is classified as V-2, V-1 or V-0 in increasing order of flammability rating by reference to the conditions given in Table 5.14. 

The product from acrylonitrile will withstand a bunsen flame in the open air and is the basis of one type of carbon fibre. None of the polymers produced by this route have a high degree of perfection in their ladder structure. 

B. 3,5-Dinilro-o-tolunitrile. A 500-ml. four-necked flask is equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a dropping funnel, a thermometer, and an inlet for dry nitrogen (Note 13). It is baked thoroughly by means of a Bunsen flame and allowed to cool to room temperature with a slow stream of dry nitrogen passing through it. The flask is charged, preferably in a dry box, with 335 g. of tetramethylene sulfone (Note 14) and 73.1 g. (0.55 mole) of nitronium tetrafluoroborate. The thermometer is adjusted so...
