      It depends on the amount of oxidising agents in the air. Anything will burn with a vibrant blue flame in pure oxygen or pure fluorine as they are the best oxidising agents. You do have a few exceptions because their ions burn with a certain colour but most things when burning pure will have blue in them due to the heat level.

    It looks like the Will-o'-the-wisp occurs because you made a premixed flame. Premixed flames have a characteristic flame speed that will move down the test tube (like the reactions with NO2 later on in the video); however, in this case, the evaporation rate of O2 and CO closely match the flame speed, causing it to hover in the test tube. Excellent work!

      It can't simply flash down? (Obviously not but I'm still a little confused as to why).. when this is done with most fuels, it is all but an instantaneous ignition of all of the gas mix. 🤔

    I would really like to see the emission spectrum of burning carbon monoxide and compare it to the spectrum of a burning hydrocarbon such as the one I made many years ago. There must be a multitude of vibronically coupled lines in the spectrum, but at the same time an overall majority of light in the blue and UV regions. Searching for images of this spectrum reveals practically nothing and it would be very interesting to see.

Finally, such views are no longer restricted only to few chemists who happen to work on niche projects somewhere in private research laboratories...

    My plant where I work makes synthesis gas as an intermediate for another reaction(hydroformylation). I have always likes the way the flare looks in that beautiful deadly blue. Coming in to work I always glance at the syngas flare to know if my units are making production or if theres an upset by the color of the flame. I have also been in a 4000ppm cloud of CO from a leak, obviously with an SCBA. I would rather it be on fire, at least it could have been seen.
    One thing that fascinates me is the CO i use has to be ran through purification to get rid of carbonyls picked up in process piping. Think of it as a low temperature Mond process.

  • @helldad4689
    @helldad4689 8 месяцев назад

    The hovering flame thing happens because the CO is so much colder than the LOX that it's actually cooling it down, reducing the volatility, and changing the stoichiometry to be very fuel rich (since CO is now making up much more of the gas mixture in the tube than LOX). It kind of creeps its way down as it burns through the gaseous oxygen. I would expect the area right above the flame to be mostly unburned CO and a little CO2. Is that close?
