Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Q.”Saturated hydrocarbons burn with a blue flame while unsaturated hydrocarbons burn with a sooty flame”. Why?

Ans.  Saturated hydrocarbons contain less carbon content, so there is a complete combustion of these compounds and hence, these compounds burn with a blue flame.

 

In case of unsaturated hydrocarbons, due to their high carbon content and low hydrogen content, there is incomplete combustion. So, unsaturated hydrocarbons burn with a sooty flame.
