What is the energy conversion of a candle?
As a candle burns, it converts the chemical energy in the wax to heat and light energy.
What energy is stored in the wax of a candle?
It is potential energy inside the candle and wick and then made into light and heat energy by combustion
Does a wax candle conduct heat well?
If one end of a candle is very hot, with the other end feel hot? That is your answer.
What statement describes the movement of the particles as the solid candle melts to a liquid?
The candle wax melted with the application of heat, as this happened the wax particles ceased to have restricted movement and began to move freely.
What are some things that produce both light and heat?
One example is a lit wax candle.
Why does the wax not freeze at the top of a candle?
wax do not freeze on top of the candle because the heat on top of the candle makes it melt and as we know heat makes solid melt.
What burns on a candle the wick or the wax?
the wick Burns but it produces heat that melts the wax
Why candle wax produces more heat than alcohol?
Candle wax contains paraffin which melts quickly after it touches fire. And the paraffin also can hold more heat
Why cant you change wax into a candle?
You can, but you need a mould, and heat.
Why is candle wax not conductive?
Candle wax consists of long chain hydrocarbons these are all covalent compunds there are no free electrons to conduct electricity or heat
What is the energy conversion of a candle?
As a candle burns, it converts the chemical energy in the wax to heat and light energy.
Where does a lighted candle get its energy to give off light and heat?
The lighted candle burns wax for fuel. The heat from the flame melts the nearby wax, and it is drawn to the flame through the wick. The wick is slowly consumed by the flame, but the wax is the main fuel.
How do you get candle wax out of a canvas bag?
Get some brown paper and place it on the wax. Heat up your iron and iron over the paper. The heat will melt the wax and the paper will absorb it.
Does candle wax conduct heat?

What energy is stored in the wax of a candle?
It is potential energy inside the candle and wick and then made into light and heat energy by combustion
How do you know that the burning of candle of wax is an exothermic change?
An exothermic reaction involves the release of heat into a system. The burning of a candle is combustion reaction. Combustion reaction release heat, and this can be detected and measured by the burning of a candle's wax. From these testable observations it is determined fact that candle burning is indeed exothermic.
Is wax a fuel?
Yes, wax in a candle is one of the two substances that causes the candle to burn (oxygen is the other.) The reactants are therefore wax and oxygen, and the products are carbon dioxide and water vapor (and heat/light.)
