Mass does not change during a chemical change how about for a physical change?
Physical changes are like cutting paper. The mass does not change. Chemical changes do not change total mass either. If you put a candle in a sealed container so that you may measure the total mass of the candle and the air before burning, then light the candle electrically but keep everything sealed, the total mass after burning will still be the same. But if you measure only the candle, then its mass has changed. So the mass of one single 'ingredient' will change during a chemical change.

What kind of wood is best for wood stoves?
You need to burn a variety of hardwoods. You need a combination of fast burning hardwoods, such as Maple and Birch, along with slower, hotter burning woods such as Oak and Ash. The fast burning woods keep the hotter burning woods burning. Some other great woods for the stove are Apple, Cherry, Black Locust, Honey Locust, and Hickory. Elm and Sycamore will also work, but don't give off as much heat as the ones I have mentioned.
Why would you expect the materials used to make pot holders to be poor conductor of heat?
Well, the idea behind a pot holder is that it acts to keep your hands or the surface the hot dish is placed on from being burned. If the material were a good conductor of heat, you'd burn yourself. The materials used to make pot holders are expected to be poor heat conductors because they are expected to keep you from burning yourself.

Does the wick effect how fast it burns?
"http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Does_the_wick_effect_how_fast_it_burns" To the best of my knowledge the speed of burning is a function of the size and volatility of the candle material. The wick serves only to keep the candle material melting, vaporizing and burning, it apparently burning at a higher temperature than the candle mass. See:http://www.howstuffworks.com/question267.htm

Why the candles stays alight even when you take the match away?
The primary fuel source of a burning candle is the wax it is made of. Once the wick of the candle is lit, the flame is sufficiently hot to allow continuing melting, vaporization, and burning of that wax - thus the match is no longer required to keep it lit.

How does air help in burning?
When something burns, it needs oxygen to stay alight. There is oxygen in the air, and that lets a flame keep burning. If you were to put a glass over a flame, a candle for example, the fire would go out once it had used all of the oxygen inside and turned it into carbon dioxide.
