I believe there is no chemical equation for this. this is because though the wick burning has a chemical reaction, the wax melting, making the candle shorter, is not undergoing a chemical reaction. simply a short change of state. If you were referring to the wick brurning though, this would be a combustion reaction. hope that helps.

When a candle is burnt a physical AND chemical change takes place.
