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.

What is the function of the Gas inlet of the Bunsen burner?

Well, honey, the gas inlet of a Bunsen burner is where you hook up your gas supply, so you can light that bad boy up and start heating things. It's like the fuel pump for your fiery little friend, making sure it has all the gas it needs to keep burning bright. So, if you want to turn up the heat, you better make sure that gas inlet is doing its job.
