Does a soy candle burn as long as a beeswax candle?
Beeswax is known to be a long burning wax. Even so, it burns the same amount of time as a candle made from soy. The length of time a candle burns depends upon how tight the wax was wrapped during production. The tighter the wrap, the longer the burn.
How long does it take for a red colored candle to burn out?
The colour has nothing to do with the length of time the candle burns for. It all depends on the chemical make-up of the wax and the wick. Some wicks are classed as slow burn. These have been inpregnated with paraffin wax as well.
Where does the wax go as a candle burns?
This is because the wax oxidizes (burns) in the flame to yield water and carbon dioxide, which dissipate in the air around the candle, in a reaction which also yields light and heat. Candle wax (paraffin) is composed of chains of connected carbon atoms surrounded by hydrogen atoms. These hydrocarbon molecules can burn completely. First the heat of the flame vaporizes the wax molecules and then they react with the oxygen in the air. As long as the wax doesn't melt away from the flame, the flame will consume it completely and leave no ash or wax residue. Source: http://chemistry.about.com/od/howthingsworkfaqs/f/candlewax.htm

Does size and shape affect how candles burn if the candles have the same amount of wax?
The shape and angle of candle will effect how long a candle burns because when a candles reaches the middle of glass jar candle, the lack of oxygen to feed the fire causes it to go out.
How long does it take for a candle to melt?
It matters how big the candle is then you do how fast the fire burns the candle.

What burns faster a short fat candle or thin long candle and why?
A long candle because the flame won't melt on the edge so it wont burn that, and the wax in the middle gets too deep and the fire goes out due to lack of oxygen. A long and thin one uses all the wax and since it so thin it burns faster.
Does the brand of the candle determine how fast it burns?
Well, yes and no. Because if you were making the candle, how long it burns would be determined on what size the candle is, what shape the candle is, what size wick and how many wicks you put in it and what kind of Wax you used. ie: Parrafin, Beeswax or Soy etc. And different companies are going to use different materials.
What type of glass makes candles burn more slowly?
It isn't the glass, but what the candle is made from that determines how long it burns.
Will a candle burn longer in inhaled air or exhaled air?
Air contains about 21% oxygen, so the candle in air might only burn 21% as long as a candle in oxygen. Of course, that does not include other variables, like the candle burning in oxygen will burn hotter, melting the candle wax sooner.
