Write true or false for the following statement:
Saturated hydrocarbons will generally give a clean flame,while unsaturated carbon compounds will give a yellow flame with lots of black smoke.
Saturated hydrocarbons will generally give a clean flame,while unsaturated carbon compounds will give a yellow flame with lots of black smoke.
(TRUE) The statement is $True$.
$1$. Saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) contain a higher proportion of hydrogen relative to carbon,which allows for complete combustion in the presence of sufficient oxygen,resulting in a clean,blue flame.
$2$. Unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkenes and alkynes) have a higher percentage of carbon. Due to the incomplete combustion of these compounds,unburnt carbon particles are produced,which glow yellow and produce black smoke.
