Abstract This paper explored and improved the experiment of the reaction between ethanol and sodium, and could observe the light blue flame of hydrogen combustion for a long time by exploring the optimum dosage of reaction reagent. This paper studied the conditions of ethanol vapor combustion by simulating the experimental conditions and using alcohol detector, and it showed that ethanol vapor had no effect on hydrogen combustion when used the optimum reagent. After the experiment was improved, we could obviously observe the light blue flame of hydrogen combustion under ordinary visible light.
