How can saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons be differentiated on the basis of combustion?

Saturated hydrocarbons sometimes burn with smoky flame upon combustion while unsaturated hydrocarbons always burn with non-smoky or blue flame. This is on account of the reason that for the same number of carbon atoms in their molecular formula, saturated hydrocarbons have more number of hydrogen atoms as compared to unsaturated hydrocarbons.

Is 3-ethyl 2-methyl 1-pentene unsaturated?

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons that have double or triple bonds between adjacent carbon atoms. Double bonded hydrocarbons are called alkenes & triple bonded hydrocarbons are called alkynes. Since the compound is a pentene, it is an alkene so it would have a double bond between the 1st & 2nd carbon atoms. Therefore it is unsaturated.


Do alkene burn with a non smoky flame?

Unsaturated hydrocarbons burn wih a luminous smoky flame. (unsaturated hydrocarbons are simply carbons with multiple bonds. they are known as unsaturated because they do not have the maximum amount of hydrogens attached as possible with the amount of given carbons.)
