Detailed Solution

The temperature of a flame depends on its color, which represents the level of combustion and energy released. Here’s how the most common flame colors compare on the Celsius scale:

Flame temperature chart:

Flame ColorApprox. Temperature (°C)Description
Red Flame525°C – 1,000°CCoolest flame; incomplete combustion, often smoky.
Orange/Yellow Flame1,000°C – 1,200°CModerate heat; common in candle flames.
Blue Flame1,400°C – 1,650°CHottest normal flame; complete combustion (like in gas burners).
White Flame1,800°C – 2,000°CExtremely hot; often found in oxy-acetylene welding flames.

Thus, blue flames are hotter than red or yellow flames because they represent complete oxidation of fuel, generating maximum heat energy.
