What types or colors of fire are there?

Question

i mean what colors of fire are there, and are there such things as white/black fire? also what are the conditions of these fires? if someone could help me out with a website or something about this, then thank you very much. i would search for it myself but i'm too busy right now.

Answer 1

Blue, yellow, orange, white, black, red, pink, violet, and purple

Answer 2

It depends upon the chemicals presence in the burning object. This concept is well adapted in Fire works, where you can observe different colors. When ignited.

Answer 3

do u know d anime flame of recca?

if u know it, u will know if not..

d amin r red,blue and pink

Answer 4

the color of the flame is based on the chemicals being burned.

Answer 5

fire can be blue, red, orange, yellow, or white. i'm not sure if it can be black. it can also be a blend of these colors.

Answer 6

You can make  fire turn colors. See first link.

Flame color depends on several factors. Typically the most important being: blackbody radiation and spectral band emission with both spectral line emission and spectral line absorption playing smaller roles. In the most common type of flame, hydrocarbon flames, the most important factor which determines color is oxygen supply and the extent of fuel oxygen "pre-mixture", which determines the rate of combustion and thus the temperature and reaction paths, different color hues are thereby produced.

In a laboratory under normal gravity conditions and with a closed oxygen valve, a Bunsen burner burns with yellow flame (also called a safety flame) at around 1,000°C. This is due to incandescence of very fine soot particles which are produced in the flame. With increasing oxygen supply less blackbody-radiating soot is produced due to a more complete combustion and the reaction creates enough energy to excite and ionize gas molecules in the flame, leading to a blue appearance. The spectrum of a premixed (complete combustion) butane flame on the right shows that the blue color arises specifically due to emission of excited molecular radicals in the flame which emit the vast majority of their light well below ~565 nanometers in the blue and green regions of the visible spectrum.

Flame temperatures of common items include a blowlamp at 1,300°C, a candle at 1,400°C [1], or a much hotter oxyacetylene combustion at 3,000°C.

Generally speaking, the coolest part of a diffusion (incomplete combustion) flame will be red, transitioning to orange, yellow, and white the temperature increases as evidenced by changes in the blackbody radiation spectrum. For a given flame's region, the closer to white on this scale, the hotter that section of the flame is. A blue-colored flame only emerges when the amount of soot decreases and the blue emissions from excited molecular radicals become dominant.

Answer 7

I do believe that Magnesium burns white.

Answer 8

all but black

Answer 9

Fire will burn different colors depending on the chemical reaction of the material burning.  If you are just burning wood, the color is probably due to the heat of the fire.  Relatively cool fires burn red, then orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet as the fire gets hotter.  The reason we usually don't see the last three hottest colors is because they are not as easily seen by our eyes.  As a result, they often appear white.
