Ali Dakik Physics Lab Calculating the temperature of a Blue Bunsen Burner Flame Date of Lab: 20 September 2005 Aim: To calculate the temperature of a Blue Bunsen Burner Flame using the concept of thermal heat transferred from one material to another. In this case, we will use the heat gained by a copper coin when burned by the Bunsen burner to calculate the flame's temperature. Background information: The temperature of the Bunsen burner is expected to be around 600-800 ?C. Thus, we cannot use a normal mercury thermometer to measure the Flame's temperature directly. This is because the maximum range of a mercury thermometer is 100?C. As a result, we have to find the flame's temperature using other methods. Materials Needed: * A steel Calorimeter * A 250 cm³ beaker * A mercury thermometer * Mass balance * A small copper coin * A heating water kettle * A Bunsen Burner Method: 1) Finding the exact heat capacity of Steel...
