If the gases released by a burning candle could be contained and measured would you see that their mass is the same as the candle's was before it was lit and what law does this example describe?
This experiment is a verification of the law of the conservation of matter. And yes, the mass of all the combustion products would be equal to the mass of the candle and the oxygen it consumed while burning.
What happens to the matter of a burning candle after it burns?
Ithe melts
Name the different states of matter in which burning candle wax can resist?
solid, liquid and gas :)
A candle is 10 inches high is it a physical or chemical change?
it doesn't matter how high it is, if its burning, its a chemical change
Is candle matter?
A candle is made of matter
Why cant you get candle material back after burning?
Candle while burning, its wax gets burnt and matter gets changed into heat and light energy. These get radiated and pass away. So we cannot get back the candle material. Energy can neither be created nor be distroyed. This cannot be violated in any case. But matter can be changed into energy. So to get back the matter we have to know the technique to collect heat and light energy and know the skill to change it back to matter.
Is candle wax burning a physical change?
For the wax, yes. It changes to a liquid and then back to a solid. But some of the wax is also consumed in a chemical change as it oxidizes, along with the burning wick.
What does the conservaton suggest about the conservation of energy the conservation of matter and the conservation of momentum?
The Conservation of Matter and the Conservation of Momentum are the consequence of the Conservation of Energy.
What is another name for the law of conservation of matter?
The conservation of Energy-Matter.
What is the laws of conservation?
If by the law of conservation you mean the Law of Conservation of Matter, then it states that matter cant be created or destroyed.
