Helloo!!

Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain more amount of carbon in them.

So, it is not easy to burn unsaturated in hydrocarbons in acetylene. And this forms the reason why acetylene burns with sooty flame.

hope it helps

because the percentage of carbon in butane, which is comparably low, is completely oxidized by the oxygen present in the air. ... Unsaturated hydrocarbons like ethyne, also known as acetylene, burn to produce a yellow, sooty flame due to incomplete combustion in air.
