As a candle burns, the candle becomes smaller as the wax melts.
Burning a candle involves a chemical change, as the wax is being oxidized by the oxygen in the air to produce heat, light, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. This process is irreversible and results in the formation of new substances, which is characteristic of a chemical change.
Physical change means change physically while chemical change means change chemically or change in chemical properties.Like if you would drop a chip of zinc in sulphuric acid it will its color will be changed which is no doubt a physical change.But,also its properties are changed as it will be transformed into zinc sulphate from simple zinc,thus it also undergoes a chemical change. Now,with your question,the candle breaks but the candle remains the candle,so,its not a chemical change but a physical change only.Hope it helps!
This is because a candle will change its whole form and stay that way, which is a physical outer change. And a candle wick only burns, it doesn't change it's appearance.
It is a physical change because when it melts it is still a candle just a melted one
The melting of a candle is a reversible change because the solid wax can be cooled and solidified again to form a new candle.
It constituen carbon and hydrogen converted into CO2 and H2O. It is the chemical change of candle
does lghtning a candle chage its appearance?
The wax of the candle melts and then rehardens. This is a physical change and reversible
Can you reverse the change?
There are many things that physically chance when a candle burns. The wick burns, and turns into ash, and wax of the candle melts and runs down the sides of the candle or container.
The melting of a candle is a physical change. It involves a change in state from solid to liquid due to the absorption of heat energy, without any change in the chemical composition of the candle wax.
Yes.
