Question

A yellow luminous flame is produced when an insufficient amount of oxygen is supplied. This flame should not be used when heating because it will coat glassware with black soot. What element is this made from? Answer with the correct elemental symbol. It will be case sensitive.

Answer 1

Soot is created when burning happens incompletely, because there was an insufficient amount of oxygen supplied. As soot is made from carbon particles, the chemical symbol will be C, for carbon.
