To burn wax melts, place one in a wax warmer or burner designed for this purpose. Light the tealight candle or switch on the electric warmer underneath the dish. The wax will melt and release its fragrance into the room. Make sure to follow the instructions provided with your specific wax warmer for best results.
What else can I help you with?
Why doesn't the wax on a candle burn?
The wax itself does not burn; instead, it melts when exposed to the flame's heat. The liquid wax is drawn up the wick through capillary action and vaporizes, which then burns to produce light and heat.
How does wax burn?
Heat from the flame melts the wax. The molten wax is drawn up the wick by capillary action. Heat from the flame vaporizes the molten wax in the wick as the wax enters the flame. The hot wax vapors burn as they mix with air.
WHY do candles burn faster at room temperature then hot or cold?
Candles burn faster at room temperature because the wax melts more easily, allowing the wick to draw up the liquid wax quicker. In hotter temperatures, the wax may melt too fast, causing the candle to burn more quickly, while colder temperatures can make the wax harden and burn more slowly.
Why does the candle burn for a long time in oxygen?
Candles burn for a long time in oxygen because the wax fuel slowly melts and vaporizes. The vaporized wax reacts with oxygen in the air, causing a continuous supply of fuel to sustain the flame. Oxygen helps maintain combustion, allowing the candle to burn steadily until the wax fuel is consumed.
Is candle wax melting physical property?
Melting candle wax is a chemical change. Why? Because when you cook or burn candle wax it melts so it is a chemical change.
Why don't candles light on fire?
Because they are wax and wax doesn't burn, it melts.:-)
Why do high temperature make candle burn faster?
The heat melts the wax, and combined with more heat from the flame, it melts faster.

What makes a white and colored candle burn?
Not depending on the color, it's always the wax that lets the candle burn. Near the flame, the wax melts until its gaseous and this paraffin gas is burned.
What is made when wax melts?
Best Wax Melts made a good smell in room when you burn a wax melts. The heat of the flame vaporizes the liquid wax (turns it into a hot gas), and starts to break down the hydrocarbons into molecules of hydrogen and carbon. These vaporized molecules are drawn up into the flame, where they react with oxygen from the air to create heat, light, water vapor (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
What does a candle need to burn?
Because candles need feul, oil, and oxygen to burn.Without oxygen it will burn out.
How does wax burn?

How will different types of wax in a candle affect its burn rate?
This is not a simple answer additives in the wax, length of the wick, the width of the wick, or even the wick type, whether the wax is free standing or in an container, or even if the candle has been over dipped. All of these factors make it practicably impossible to answer your question correctly. Gel Wax has a higher melt point about 180°F to 230°F Bee's wax has a longer burn rate then when compared to paraffin and melts around 144 to 147 °F paraffin melts around 117°F to 147°F
What physical and chemical changes occur when a wax candle burn?
Some wax burns, and as it does so, chemical changes occurs. Wax converts to CO2, CO, and H2O. That is an exothermic reaction The rest of the wax melts with the increased temperature. That is the physical change.
