Question

an organic compound burns with a sooty flame.it is saturated or unsaturated

Answer 1

unsaturated compounds burn with a sooty flame and saturated with a clear flame

Answer 2

Answer : An organic compound burns with a sooty flame, it is an unsaturated.

Explanation :

As we know that in sooty flame the black unburnt carbon particles are formed and it burns with the yellow flame due to the incomplete combustion. In non sooty flame there are no black particles formed and it burns with clean or clear blue flame.

In generally, the saturated carbons gives blue clear flame and unsaturated carbons gives yellow sooty flame.

Hence, an organic compound burns with a sooty flame, it is an unsaturated.
