Is it possible for fire to burn blue entirely, even if for a short while? If so, how?

Answer 1

Natual gas, as stated before will burn blue, but there is a slight yellow-orange tinge to it which is a partial result of the mercaptan introduced to for its odor.

Answer 2

Yes, some star burn blue for over 100 years. the color a fire burns depends on what its temperature is. Blue would be a really hot fire.

Answer 3

Depending on what the fire is burning, it will change the color of the flame. Some gases burn blue flames. Cooking gas burns blue.

Answer 4

if you put copper into a fire it will heat up and burn blue, green, purple, magenta...it's awesome
but a blue flame?
takes a torch
blue is the hottest part of the flame and is at the flame's core...so the tips of the flame appear orange and yellow due to the air temp affecting it.
the only blue flame I can think of that stays that way is a blue star..

Answer 5

Of course, natural gas should burn blue entirely.

Answer 6

A cutting torch burns blue.

The Chemicals You Need To Color Flames
{Most of the ingredients needed for this can be found at
your local grocery store, a pharmacy or online at the Chemistry
Store.}
The different chemicals or salts required for coloring flames are:
Magnesium Sulphate (Epson Salts) for WHITE flames
Lithium Chloride or Potassium Permanganate for PURPLE flames
Barium Nitrate for BLUE flames
Sodium Chloride (table salt) for YELLOW flames
Baronsalts (Borax) for YELLOW-GREEN flames
Copper sulphate (blue vitrol/Bluestone) for BLUE-GREEN flames
Copper Chloride or boric acid for GREEN Flames
Calcium Chloride (Bleaching powder) for ORANGE Flames
Strontium chloride for RED flames

Answer 8

Of coourse it depends on the chemicals around it like oxygen and carbon monoxide. example if you light the candle and you close it using a bottle of course the light will put off because there's no much oxygen to continue th process of burning

Answer 9

I thought so, with Propane, or Butane, and even METHANE might, because they are SO SO explossive! Blue is the HOTTEST, and the quicker it burns, the less chance it has to cool!

Answer 10

it really depends on what you are burning. i will send this to my boyfriend he is in the fire academy. And have him give you a true answer.
