Why does paper burn with a yellow flame ?
A yellow flame comes about when there is insufficient supply of oxygen. It is a luminous flame. In this case the hydrocarbons do not burn completely, the temperature of the flame is lower than that of the blue flame. The yellow flame also leaves behind a black soot or residue.
Give reasons :
LPG is a better domestic fuel than wood.
Give reasons :

Make a labelled diagram of candle flame.
Name the unit in which the calorific value of a fuel is expressed.
Explain how CO2 is able to control fires.

Which zone of a flame does a goldsmith use for melting gold and silver and why ?
In an experiment 4.5 kg of a fuel was completely burnt. The heat produced was measured to be 180,000 kJ. Calculate the calorific value of the fuel.
Can the process of rusting be called combustion ? Discuss.
Abida and Ramesh were doing an experiment in which water was to be heated in a beaker. Abida kept the beaker near the wick in the yellow part of the candle flame. Ramesh kept the beaker in the outermost of the flame. Whose water will get heated in a shorter time?
