Depending on the wax, and the concentrations of water of oxygen in the air, somewhere between 1,200 degrees and 1,700 degrees Celsius.
The heat capacity and conductivity of air and the exhaust products of combustion, however, are both very low. In practice, candle flames do not seem very hot (much like metal feels colder than wood at room temperature, though they are the same temperature).
The outer core of the candle flame is light blue -- 1670 K (1400 °C). That is the hottest part of the flame. The color inside the flame becomes yellow, orange and finally red. The further you reach to the center of the flame, the lower the temperature will be. The red portion is around 1070 K (800 °C). The reason there is this variation in a candle's flame color is because air convection pulls the warmer gasses upwards.
What else can I help you with?
Why is a Bunsen burner better than using a candle or a fire?
Bunsen burners are preferred over candles or fires because the Bunsen burner produces a much higher temperature (noted by the blue flame) and it is much easier to contain/control a Bunsen Burner flame.
Why is middle zone of the candle called luminous zone?
partial combustion takes place here and wax vapour start burning with a yellowwish flame . this region of candle flame is moderately hot. so it is called as the luminous zone
Does the blue flame on a Bunsen burner need the air hole open or shut?
It needs to be open to create the hot, blue flame that roars. If the air hole is shut, the flame will burn yellow, similar to a candle.
What can be observed if the gas control valve on a Bunsen burner is slightly closed?
Less air enters the tube and the flame burns less fierce and appears more like the yellowish flame on a candle.
How do you increase the temperature of a yellow flame coming out of a busen burner?
You can't it is always the same. You only use the blue flame to heat things because the yellow flame is the safety flame and the blue flame is hotter.
Does the temperature of a candle jar inhibit growth of psychrotrophs What is the average temperature inside candle jar and how long does it take flame to burn out?
The temperature of a candle jar inhibits the growth of psychrotrophs, and the average temperature inside the candle jar is 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Can you use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of a candle flame?
No, a clinical thermometer is not suitable for measuring the temperature of a candle flame. Candle flames burn at temperatures much higher than the range typically measured by a clinical thermometer. To measure the temperature of a candle flame, a specialized high-temperature thermometer or pyrometer would be more appropriate.
What are the different colors that a candle flame can exhibit?
A candle flame can exhibit various colors such as yellow, orange, and blue, depending on the temperature and the materials burning.
Why can you not use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of a candle flame?
We cannot use a clinical thermometer to measure temperature of a candle flame because then the mercury will expand too much and the thermometer will explode.
How hot does an average candle burn?
A candle flame burns at about 1000o C (1800o F)
What is the weakest flame?
The weakest flame is typically a low-temperature flame, such as a candle flame or a match flame. These flames produce less heat and energy compared to higher temperature flames like those of a blowtorch.
What is the burning temperature of candle?
The burning temperature of a candle flame is typically between 1400-1600 degrees Fahrenheit (760-870 degrees Celsius). The temperature varies depending on the type of wax and additives in the candle.
Why does a candle burn with a yellow flame?
Candle burns with a yellow flame because its an incomplete combustion. The temperature of the flame also relates to its colour and also the trace metal ions present will influence the flame colour.
Is candle flame a source of light?
The flame of a candle is a source of light.
Does temperature affect the way a candle burns?
Yes, temperature can affect the way a candle burns. Higher temperatures can cause the wax to melt faster and produce a larger flame, while lower temperatures may result in a smaller flame as the wax solidifies more quickly. Extreme temperatures can also affect the overall stability and behavior of the candle flame.
Does candle flame emit light?
Yes, candle flames emit light through a process called incandescence. When the candle's wick is lit, it burns the wax, producing a flame that emits light due to the high temperature of the combustion reaction.
Why is a candle flame seen?
A candle flame is seen because it consists of glowing gases.
