Correct Option: C

A circular blackish ring on the glass plate kept over the candle flame indicates ___________.

  1. Complete combustion

  2. Dark zone of the flame

  3. Non-luminous zone

  4. Luminous zone


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A circular blackish ring on the glass plate kept over the candle flame indicates the luminous zone. The candle flame consists of mainly 3 zones depending on the temperature i.e the outer zone ( hottest among all, blue in colour, complete combustion occurs here and is the non-luminous part of the flame), middle zone ( moderately hot, yellow in colour, partial combution), inner zone (least hot and black in colour, and is the luminous part).

The colour of the flame in luminous zone is:

  1. blue

  2. red

  3. yellow

  4. black


Correct Option: C

The blue zone in a LPG flame indicates _________.

  1. unburnt vapours

  2. partial decomposition

  3. moderately hot

  4. hottest and complete combustion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Flame color determines the rate of combustion and thus the temperature difference producing a different color flame. In LPG the blue zone is the zone of complete combustion of fuel. So, the amount of soot decreases and the temperature is highest as high heat is released.

Which of the following do not produce flame on burning?

  1. Petrol

  2. Coal

  3. L.P.G

  4. Kerosene


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Coal burns directly without getting vaporised. So it does not produce flame. It burns with a glow.

The hottest part of a candle flame is the __________.

  1. luminous zone

  2. dark zone

  3. hot zone

  4. non-luminous zone


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
The Non-Luminous zone is the region of the complete combustion. If you look at a candle flame closely. You will see an "aura" formed around the candle. Since this zone is complete combustion and it is the hottest part of the flame.

Which is the hottest part in the flame of the candle?

  1. Blue

  2. Yellow

  3. Black

  4. Wax part


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The hottest part of a candle flame are actually the blue, almost invisible area near the base. Where oxygen is drawn in and blue or white part around the edge. In this area flame meets the oxygen-rich air all around it. The flame get progressively cooler as you move in from the outside edge toward the wick.

Colour of the flame is dependent on the ______________.

  1. supply of oxygen

  2. nature of fuel

  3. ignition temperature of the fuel

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The colour and temperature of a flame are dependent on the nature of the fuel involved in the combustion.

When excited, every element can emit light; the wavelength, and hence the colour, of the emitted light, is characteristic of each element. An example of this is the blue flame from gas ovens, which is due to the combustion of methane or liquified petroleum gas.

During burning of candle, different zones of combustion in the flame are listed below:-


a) Outermost zone
b) Innermost zone
c) Middle zone

The correct order of temperature of zones is :

  1. $A>B>C$

  2. $C>B>A$

  3. $B>C>A$

  4. $A>C>B$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The flame consist of three zones: 

  1. The outermost zone is the hottest among the 3 and is blue in colour.
  2. The middle zone is moderately hot and is yellow in colour.
  3. The innermost zone is the least hot and black in colour. 

Middle zone is the hottest zone of a flame.

  1. True

  2. False


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


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


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


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


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


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.
