Detailed Solution

A sooty flame is yellow and smoky due to unburnt carbon; a non-sooty flame is blue and clean due to complete combustion.

  • Sooty flame: Incomplete combustion, limited oxygen, yellow/orange, deposits soot (carbon).
  • Non-sooty flame: Complete combustion, ample oxygen, blue, no soot.
  • Examples: Candle wick (sooty) vs. Bunsen burner with air hole open (non-sooty).
