Just a guess- but most have a sensor known as a thermocouple. This detects the heat of the flame of the pilot light, and keeps gas from flowing if the pilot light is not lit. check that your pilot light (a very small flame) is burning, and that the flame heats a small metal tube- about as big as a wooden match. If pilot is out, get it lit, and let burn for 5 minutes, and try lighting fireplace. If it still will not stay lit, the thermocouple may need replacement- they DO wear out. Check with your local gas appliance repair service. While they are fixing it, have them show you correct lighting process.

Gas fireplace wont stay on I have a FMI model GL-6100 gas fireplace when I turn it on after 2 or 3 min it shut down Evan the pilot lite goes out I hear a pop sound that seem to come gas value?

Not an expert, but a homeowner. MOST gas fireplaces (and other appliances) have a flame sensor- frequently in the form of a thermocouple. Intended to prevent gas from flowing when there is no flame present. If the thermocouple is bad, it will shut off the gas flow even when a flame IS present. It may look like a small rod that is in the flame of the pilot light. I would REALLY hand this of to a professional gas repairman. The cost of having this done right is FAR less than the cost of doing it wrong.

What is the black substance produced when a Bunsen burner air hole is closed?

What colour the flame is has totally got to do with how much oxygen is allowed into the Bunsen, the flame can be anywhere between a bight orange to blue, all the way to being almost unnoticeable. This is what make them dangerous if unattended as you wont know there burning until you are. Low air easily visible flame, High air flow, and it becomes very difficult to see.
