[What are the differences between luminous or non luminous flames?
Answer:
a non-luminous flame- when the air hole of the Bunsen Burner is open
"when the air hole is open, more oxygen can enter the burner; therefore, hotter flame
will be produced."
its color is transparent or blue
Blue flames are the hottest flames
a luminous flame is produced when the air hole is closed..
"if the air hole is closed, oxygen cannot enter the burner; therefore, least hotter because
the combustion is not fully complete with least oxygen
A luminous flame has an outer of orange color and an inner of blue.
Luminous flames emits more light than non-luminous flames. ]

Career in Analytical Chemistry

Dr. Gordon Parker Reflects on his Career in Analytical Chemistry During an Exciting Time
in History
"I graduated in '58 [during a] time when the United States was desperate to find science
teachers. So I had several opportunities for employment," Gordon Parker, the now
retired, veteran chemist shared with Cambridge Who's Who. With a bachelor of science
in chemistry concentrating in physics and mathematics from the University of Michigan,
Gordon started teaching high school science in the areas of chemistry, physics, natural
sciences and geology, to name a few.
Dr. Parker returned to school to pursue a graduate degree. Wayne State University, an
institution renowned for its chemistry program, Gordon conducted research alongside
internationally recognized scientists. He also gained a reputation of his own which,
paired with a Ph.D., later helped him land a teaching position at the University of
Toledo.
With added funds allotted to science, research departments at the University of Toledo
thrived. Dr. Parker would enjoy a prosperous research and teaching tenure there
spanning over three decades. During this time, he published numerous articles and
reports, including his book, "Analytical Chemistry of Molybdenum," in 1983. Through his
collaborative efforts, Dr. Parker gained both national and international acclaim for his
work with molybdenum, a silvery metallic chemical element having the sixth-highest
melting point of any element and often used in steel alloys. Dr. Parker considered his
time at the University of Toledo to be the highlight of his career.
Reflecting on a career that lasted over 45 years, Dr. Parker noted that working with
students and providing them with direction became the most rewarding aspect of his
job. He also made significant advances in analytical chemistry, providing emerging
researchers with a strong base of information on molybdenum, from which to move
forward. Dr. Parker was not a part of the Space Race, but played an integral role in
shaping the United States from 1958 to 2002 and - through his teaching - for
generations to come.
