When we heat things with a yellow Bunsen burner flame they get covered in soot where do the carbon particles come from to make the soot?

The fuel in the Bunsen burner is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. The hydrogen combines with the oxygen in air to form water leaving the carbon behind as the black substance.

When air hole of the Bunsen burner is closed what is the observation?
When the air valve in closed a yellow luminous flame is observed due to carbon particles from in incomplete combustion.
Why does carbon get produced when a Bunsen burner is on a safety flame?
The oxygen necessary for burning is not sufficient.
Why does a Bunsen burner have different temperatures on the flame?
The basic fuel to a Bunsen burner is a hydro carbon which on heating breaks the carbon bond with other elements with differentiated calorific value and combustion with oxygen. This results in different zones with differentiated temperature
What are the bad Bunsen burner flames?
The yellow flame, containing unburned carbon, is considered as bad.
What are the two regions in a Bunsen burner?
What are the two regions in a Bunsen burner? The two regions in a Bunsen burner flame are: 1.An outer transparent, dim blue cone. 2.An inner,less transparent, brighter greenish-blue cone. This relatively non luminous,cone shaped flame is a combustion of carbon-hydrogen fuel which is used in a Bunsen burner to provide heat for laboratory purposes.
What dos a Bunsen burner do when the air hole is clos?
When you close the air valve of a Bunsen burner the flame turns yellow due to incomplete combustion and the ignition of carbon particles (soot).
Can you burn carbon?
yes it can but only with a broken Bunsen burner
When air hole of the Bunsen burner is closed what is the observation?
When the air valve in closed a yellow luminous flame is observed due to carbon particles from in incomplete combustion.
What gasses come from a Bunsen burner?
The Bunsen burner uses natural gas to burn. Methane, CH4. Below is the equation of Bunsen burner combustion. CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O Methane burns combined with oxygen gas ( with ignition from a flame ) from the air and carbon dioxide and water are the products of this Bunsen burner reaction.

How does a Bunsen burner sterilize the area around it?
A Bunsen burner simply burns everything around it. It oxidises any impurities in the surrounding area, removing particulates such as carbon and changing them into carbon dioxide, these gasses then dissapate away from the area, sterilising the area.

Where do carbon atoms come from in a Bunsen burner?
Carbon particles are created by incomplete combustion of the methane gas. The balance chemical formula for the combustion taking place is as follows: CH4(g) + 2O2(g) ---> 2H2O (g) + CO2(g)
How a Bunsen burner can display both complete and incomplete combustion?
The Bunsen burner would display complete combustion by producing a "roaring" blue flame and it would display incomplete combustion when you close the air valve complete to cut off the oxygen gas supply, thus creating a yellow flame due to the burning of carbon particles (soot).
When limestone is heated strongly with a Bunsen burner it breaks down and a gas is given off?
it produces carbon dioxide
