Candles do not burn at a constant rate at all. There are hundreds of different kinds of candles. Some burn quickly and some burn slowly so there is no way of really finding a constant rate.

Which candles would burn longer cake with 8 candles or cake with 7 candles?
As long as they were all lit at the same time, they would burn for the same amount of time (regardless of the number of candles).
Do white candles burn faster than colored ones?
The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax. The composition of the candle is far more important to the burn rate than the color.
Do all colors fade at the same rate?
No, they dont fade at the same rate.
Do all plates move in the same direction and at the same rate?
no
Do all atoms move at the same rate?
No, they do not.

Do all calories burn at the same rate?
Calories are calories, no difference between then - they all burn at the same rate.
What is the conclusion for do white candles burn at a different rate then colored candles?
White canldes will probably burn at a different rate than colored candles for the simple reason that in order to get different colors, candles will have different compositions - you have to put different dyes (or other color source) into candles to make some of them green, some of them blue, some of them orange, etc. etc. etc. With that said, most of the time if all you have done is add a little bit of color to the wax, it won't affect the burn rate very much. Also keep in mind that even if you do change the burn rate, you would have to know what you used to make the color in order to determine if the burn rate increased or decreased. Burn rate depends on composition. Color depends on composition. Burn rate is only indirectly related to color.
In the science fair project do white candles burn faster than colored candles do you have to burn them all at the same time?
no, you can but you dont have to all you have to do is time them and compare the times, so you can do them at different times
Hypothesis of crayons in its melting point?
they all burn at the same rate
Which candles burn the slowest so the candle will last a long time?
I dont know about what brand burns the slowest as there would be thousands of brands out there, mostly all made from the same thing but if you freeze or refridgerate your candles they will last hours longer.
Are scented candles harmful to parrots?
Scented candles, air freshners, cleaners are all dangerous for birds. Non-stick utensils are dangerous as well.
How do you burn candles evenly?
Without constantly watching the flame, there is no full-proof way to make candles burn evenly. Keeping them out of any drafts will help somewhat, and the cost of the candle is an important - and often overlooked - aspect. Cheap candles burn raggedly. High-quality candles burn much more evenly. Best of all are candles that are at least 50% beeswax - but those are very expensive, and hard to find. Still, they burn very, very slowly and evenly with little to no smoke.
Do white candles burn faster than colored ones?
The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax. The composition of the candle is far more important to the burn rate than the color.
What is the dependent variable of do white candles burn faster than colored candles?
All else being held constant - the dependent variable is the composition of the chemical(s) used to color the colored candles. Some additives will speed burning because they are themselves flammable. Some will slow burning because they are less flammable. Some will cause the melting point of the wax to be depressed so that the wax melts quicker - and as it melts and drains away, the candle will burn faster. A more critical factor in reality though is that colored candles are usually made with a different composition than white candles to make it easier to color them. Not only do they contain something to give them color - the composition of the wax the color is added to is different as well. Once you change the basic composition of the candle that much it is tough to compare the candles. It becomes like trying to compare burning oak to burning pine. Yeah - they are similar but you really are not burning the same thing and you don't expect them to burn at the same rate. By controlling the composition of the wax, you can make candles burn faster or slower - without respect to what color they are or if they have no color at all (assuming you don't call white a color).

Does white candles burn faster than colored what are the materials?
Candles are all different and burn at different rates, but the color is not a factor. The amount of paraffin/beeswax, and the thickness of the wick primarily determine how fast a candle burns.
