Bunsen Burner Day 2025 is on Monday, March 31, 2025: Is it safe to light a Bunsen burner inside the house?

Monday, March 31, 2025 is Bunsen Burner Day 2025. Happy Bunsen Burner Day! the Bunsen Burner!

The humble bunsen burner was developed by a German Chemist by the name of Robert Wilhelm Eberhard von Bunsen, birthed March 31st 1811, and Bunsen Burner Day commemorates his birthday celebration.

Sure You human and lighting up a burner that the gas will kill you is common sense You can also try to hook a hose directly into your cars exhaust system, doing this will make sure that the landlord get no rent from you cause your already dead.

No you cannot burn methane indoors BBQ grills propane etc....

If your a renter depending on your local housing laws landlord may be required to fix within a set time frame in my state landlord is required to fix heating within 72 hrs or I can hire a professional to fix the problem and take it out of the rent if the landlord attempts to raise rents or punish I can also sue and he would have to pay my moving expenses up to 5k I don't know your landlord but he sounds like a slum lord In some states including mine. I can withhold rent until its fixed.

Your best off either re-asking the question with your city so we can look up housing laws or you can Google you local housing laws and get your answer without you city we don't know

You can buy a cheap electric heater for 15 bucks at a home depot Any gas you burn indoors without ventilation is suicide

hope that helps

What could you use in place of a gas burner?

A gas (Bunsen) burner isn't used in most research labs these days for safety reasons - chemists use a lot of flammable solvents.

Alternatives could be:

For really flammable stuff like ethers:

Water bath,

Steam bath,

Oil bath on a stirer hotplate

Heating directly on a stirer hotplace

a heating mantle (I.e. an element shaped to fit a round bottom flask).

A heated sand bath.

A hot air gun. (Hi tech hairdryer)

How hot is a Bunsen Burner at roaring flame?

1,570 C

I turn the handle on the nozzle

That's protruding from the wall

To start the flow of propane

To the tube where gas and air collide

To form this flammable concoction

It's intention won't be denied

Just one spark is all that's needed

To start this show of sweet combustion

That's its penultimate function

Just one light to wake my blue angel of fire

Bunsen burner

It's the flame that never dies

My bunsen Burner

You light up the sky in my lab

Bunsen burner

The flame that never dies

My bunsen burner

1500 degrees of heat awaits the piece that comes to rest

Upon its inner cone of pure blue heat that dances in the air

Creating chemical reactions 'til the day comes to an end

When its time to stop the show and end the flow of propane

To extinguish the flame

And await another day with my

Bunsen burner

It's the flame that never dies

My bunsen Burner

You light up the sky in my lab

Bunsen burner

The flame that never dies

My bunsen burner
