A smoky flame is a flame that produces a significant amount of smoke due to incomplete combustion of the fuel. It is typically yellow or orange in color and can be caused by insufficient oxygen, improper fuel-air mixture, or poor ventilation. A smoky flame may indicate that adjustments are needed to improve combustion efficiency and reduce pollution.

What causes a burner flame to be smoky and to separate from the tip of the burner?
A smoky burner flame that separates from the tip of the burner is typically caused by an incorrect air-to-fuel ratio. This can be due to a clogged burner or inadequate airflow. It can also be caused by a lack of proper maintenance or adjustment of the burner.
Do alkene burn with a non smoky flame?
Unsaturated hydrocarbons burn wih a luminous smoky flame. (unsaturated hydrocarbons are simply carbons with multiple bonds. they are known as unsaturated because they do not have the maximum amount of hydrogens attached as possible with the amount of given carbons.)
Which flame is not suitable for heating in Bunsen burner?
The yellow flame (or luminous flame) should not be used because 1. It is less hot that the blue flame (or non-luminous flame) 2. It produces soot, as compared to the blue flame which is the clean flame
What happens to white porcelain when held over the safety flame?
When held over a safety flame, white porcelain may become dirty or sooty from the flame. The heat may also cause the porcelain to change color slightly or develop a smoky residue on its surface.
Are smoky quartz and smoky topaz the same?
No, smoky quartz and smoky topaz are not the same. Smoky quartz is a variety of the mineral quartz, while smoky topaz is a misnomer as true topaz does not come in smoky colors. It is more likely that gemstones referred to as smoky topaz are actually smoky quartz.
Why phenols burn with smoky flame?
Phenols burn with a smoky flame because of incomplete combustion. The smoky flame results from the presence of soot and unburned carbon particles in the flame. This is often due to insufficient oxygen supply during the combustion process.

Describe and explain what happens to the piece of wooden splint when it is placed in the different parts of the Bunsen flame?
When a wooden splint is placed in the outer part of the Bunsen flame, it burns with a smoky flame due to incomplete combustion. When placed in the inner blue cone of the flame, it burns with a clean, non-smoky flame due to complete combustion of the wood. The inner blue cone is the hottest part of the flame, which allows for more efficient burning.
What does char taste like when it is cooked over an open flame?
When charred over an open flame, food can develop a smoky and slightly bitter flavor.
Which flame is not suitable for heating in Bunsen burner?
The yellow flame (or luminous flame) should not be used because 1. It is less hot that the blue flame (or non-luminous flame) 2. It produces soot, as compared to the blue flame which is the clean flame
What should you do to correct the quality of the flame when its yellow and smoky?
I'm assuming that we're talking about Bunsen burner... If the flame is yellow and smokey, there is too much gas to oxygen ratio. Cut back on the gas flow.
What happens to white porcelain when held over the safety flame?
When held over a safety flame, white porcelain may become dirty or sooty from the flame. The heat may also cause the porcelain to change color slightly or develop a smoky residue on its surface.
The bottom of a test tube was covered with soot after an experiment which required heating. What kind of flame was used during the experiment?
A yellow, smoky flame was likely used during the experiment, which produced soot as a byproduct of incomplete combustion. This type of flame is often seen with a fuel-rich mixture or inefficient burning of the fuel.
The Bunsen burner flame is very tall and has a large blue cone in the center What must be done to adjust the flame?
The flame may be adjusted in two ways. To just reduce the flame height reduce the gas flow. To lessen the cone, partly close the air supply valve (the sleeve at the bottom of the burner). If closed all the way the flame will become yellow and possibly smoky.
If a gas stove gives a smoky flame how can you correct this?
You can correct a smoky flame on a gas stove by ensuring that the burner and surrounding area are clean and free of debris. Adjusting the air-to-fuel ratio by increasing ventilation can also help improve combustion and reduce smoke. If the issue persists, you may need to have the burner checked and serviced by a professional.
