For the same reason anything else burns with a sooty flame--not enough oxygen. What happens is, the outside of the flame gets all the air it wants, and the little oxygen that makes it through isn't enough to properly combust the fuel.
If you mix air with the fuel before you burn it, as is done in a carburetor or a welding torch, you don't get a sooty flame.

What organic compound is flammable and will burn with a sooty flame?
hydrocarbons, in general.
What is sooty and non sooty flame and why it is occurred?
sooty flame refers to the flame produces after burning, which shows incomplete combustion, i.e, insufficient supply of oxygen.
On a Bunsen burner which flame produces a sooty carbon black deposit on whatever it heats?
I Believe It Is The Roaring But I Am Not Sure. When We Put A Test Tube Into The Roaring Flame, I Think It Turns That Part Black. It May Be The Medium Flame.
How do you obtain blue flame on burn-sen burner?
Increase the air flow by opening the circular valve on the stem of the burner. This will cause the flame to burn more intensely and with a blue flame. When the valve is closed, the flame will burn yellow and cooler - more like a wax candle's flame.
What is deposited on the porcelain dish when put in a bunsen burner with yellow sooty flame?
Black carbon soot is deposited on the porcelain
What organic compound is flammable and will burn with a sooty flame?
hydrocarbons, in general.
What is sooty and non sooty flame and why it is occurred?
sooty flame refers to the flame produces after burning, which shows incomplete combustion, i.e, insufficient supply of oxygen.
Is sooty flame a luminous or non luminous?
luminous
Is a sooty flame contains gases and tiny solid particles?
yes
Does cyclohexane burn in air?
Cyclohexane is an alkane and it burns in air with an orange flame and black sooty smoke. The orange flame indicates incomplete combustion. This means there is a lack of oxygen in the air for all the carbon in the alkane to be converted into carbon dioxide (which is complete combustion) so some carbon and carbon monoxide is formed which is the black sooty smoke (incomplete combustion).
What compound burns with a black flame?
The organic compounds having high ratio of carbon burn with black smoke (SOOT) as Aromatic compounds for example Benzene, C6H6.
Why do different substances catch fire at different temperature?
It basically depends upon the saturation of hydrocarbons.Alkanes generally burn in air with a blue flame because %age of carbon is low which gets oxidised completely by the oxygen as copare to unsaturated hydrocarbons,but production of flame depends upon availability of oxygen too, in secant concentration of oxygen sooty flame or no any flame will be observed and substance at that time will produce energy slowly with sooty flame or just smoke only.
What are elements when hydrocarbon burns?
When a hydrocarbon is burnt in the presenceof oxygen it gives heat, light, and carbon dioxide gas producing a sooty or non-sooty flame
What does a flame need to burn?
For a flame to burn it needs fuel, oxygen, and heat.
What are used to identify substances?
odour,melting/boling point,solubility in water,sooty or non- sooty flame on combusion,sodium fusion test,colour on adding KMnO4..
What is the hazardous effect of benzene?
Benzene is a proven carcinogen. It is thus a cancer hazard. In addition it is flammable and burns with a smoky flame.
What is the test that can be performed to differentiate acrylic fiber from wool?
Burn some fibers, wool smells like burning bone (acrid) will self extinguish and the ash can easily be crushed to a powder. Acrylic smells like burning oil will burn with a sooty flame and the ash will be a hard ball.
