Aliphatic compounds, which include alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes, typically have a higher hydrogen-to-carbon ratio compared to aromatic compounds. When burned, they tend to undergo more complete combustion, producing carbon dioxide and water as the main products. This complete combustion results in a clean, non-sooty flame, as there is minimal formation of carbon particulates. In contrast, aromatic compounds often produce soot due to their structure and lower hydrogen content, which leads to incomplete combustion.
hydrocarbons, in general.
The Ignition test is a test for aromaticity. One takes a sample of their unknown, places it in an open flame and observes what happens. The presence of an aromatic ring will usually lead to the production of a sooty yellow flame in the test.
When the air valve in closed a yellow luminous flame is observed due to carbon particles from in incomplete combustion.
The size of the air hole can affect the flame by controlling the amount of oxygen available for combustion. A larger air hole can result in a more efficient and hotter flame, while a smaller air hole may lead to incomplete combustion and a sooty flame. Adjusting the air hole can help optimize the burning process for different types of fuels.
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.
hydrocarbons, in general.
Hydrocarbons like alkanes (e.g. propane, butane) are organic compounds that can burn with a sooty flame due to incomplete combustion, which produces carbon particles.
When a hydrocarbon is burnt in the presenceof oxygen it gives heat, light, and carbon dioxide gas producing a sooty or non-sooty flame
A sooty flame in Hindi is called "काला धुआंदार ज्वाला" (kala dhuanadar jwala).
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.
A sooty flame is yellow and produces soot or carbon due to incomplete combustion of fuel. A non-sooty flame is blue and indicates complete combustion, where fuel is completely burnt. The presence of soot in a flame is caused by insufficient oxygen supply or improper fuel-air mixture in the combustion process.
A sooty flame is typically considered a non-luminous flame because it does not produce significant visible light. It appears dark or dim due to the presence of unburned carbon particles (soot) in the flame.
To change the type of Bunsen burner flame, adjust the air hole at the base of the burner. Closing the air hole will produce a yellow, sooty flame (reducing flame) while opening it will create a blue, non-sooty flame (oxidizing flame).

Aromatic compounds tend to burn with a sooty flame because their molecular structure contains a large number of carbon-carbon bonds that do not fully break during combustion. This leads to the production of carbon particles (soot) instead of complete combustion to carbon dioxide and water.
Benzene burns with a sooty flame due to its incomplete combustion, which results in the formation of carbon particles (soot). Hexane, on the other hand, is a saturated hydrocarbon and tends to undergo complete combustion, resulting in a cleaner flame with less soot formation.
