It's a safety issue:
An open flame could cause the acetone to ignite, as it is flammable. A hot plate has no flame.

Because acetone is flammable and could catch on fire with the bunsen burner flame, where the hot plate is electric and will not ignite a fire.

because acetone is extremely flammable in a gaseous state.
It isn't a good idea to heat a flammable substance over an open flame. At least with a hot plate, there is no flame to ignite vapors.

1. as acetone is composed of alchol, it is very flammable.
2. it is difficult to heat substances with bunsen burners. it woulkd be easier to heat acetone (not to mention safer) with a electric hot plate.

acetone is flammable. boiling it off will convert it from a liquid to a gas thus making it even more flammable. Now figure out the rest for yourself.

The sunlight is named a black body. Black bodies emit EM radiation depending upon absorption and dissipation. They follow the Wien's displacement regulation. The sunlight emits all wavelengths of the EM spectrum yet usually yellow seen effortless measured at 550nm on the EM spectrum. by skill of utilizing this techniques, we are waiting to make certain the temperatures of diverse stars together with our own. a celebrity produces warmth and effortless by the technique of nuclear fussion. this isn't an same as a flame. A flame desires 2 issues to finish in a combustion- a chemical to burn and an oxidizer. The oxidizer is regularly oxygen yet will be different chemical substances. Non-black bodies (flames) follow a quite some regulation called Kirchoff's regulation. the colour of flames are dependant upon the chemical being combusted and the speed of combustion. All flames are in essence blue yet diverse chemical substances will produce diverse colorings. This explains fireworks. If we glance heavily at any flame, the bottom of the flame is blue. This represents complete combustion of the textile being burned. further up the flame, the textile is not any longer being effectively oxidized. We see incomplete combustion because the molecular debris of the textile are escaping devoid of being burned.
