Bunsens
Chemistry class heaters
Bunsens is the plural of Bunsen, short for Bunsen burner, the small gas burner with an adjustable flame used in chemistry labs and science classrooms.
Named after German chemist Robert Bunsen, these devices produce a hot, clean flame ideal for heating substances in beakers and test tubes.
We lit the Bunsens and began the experiment.
The word typically appears in educational and laboratory contexts.
