(A)region 2✓ Correct
(B)region 3
(C)region 4
(D)region 1
Answer: (A)
Solution
A Bunsen flame is hottest where combustion is complete and oxygen is plentiful, which is the outer non-luminous zone, region 2, reaching roughly 1500∘C. Region 1 is unburnt gas, region 3 is the inner luminous cone of incomplete combustion, and region 4 is cooler, so the hottest part is region 2.
