When organic chemicals are burned incompletely, they produce a black residue that is mostly made up of soot.
Explanation:
- Soot is a particulate carbon particle that is randomly generated and can be coarse, fine, or colloidal in proportions depending on its source. Soot is made up of a mixture of carbonaceous and inorganic particles, as well as absorbed and occluded tars and resins.
- Soot is a by-product of incomplete combustion or pyrolysis that is generally undesirable. Soot formed in flames is mainly made up of carbon spherical aggregates. Soot from home fireplace chimneys includes few aggregates but may contain significant volumes of coke or char particle fragments.
- Aggregates, tars, and resins make up most of the soot produced by diesel engines.
