If your Bunsen burner flame goes out what should you do?
By this I'm thinking your talking about a Bunsen burner? A flame should never be left unattended. You should have someone supervise it while you go or if this isn't a possibility then turn it off and then once you return put it back on. If none of this are possible turn the flame down onto a low heat ( i think it is a yellow flame) and make sure nothing around it can catch on fire/ no one else could knock it over.

How does a yellow flame on a Bunsen burner make things black but the roaring flame doesn't?
The flame of a Bunsen burner that is yellow in color will leave a black carbon residue due to the incorrect mixture of oxygen into the flame. Because there is not enough oxygen for complete combustion, the carbon reside is left behind. When the Bunsen flame has a sufficient amount of oxygen mixed in, hence the 'roaring flame', it has a blue color and does not leave a carbon residue due to complete combustion of the acetylene gas.
