What name is given to a process such as a burning candle?
Combustion.
How do you know that the burning of candle of wax is an exothermic change?
An exothermic reaction involves the release of heat into a system. The burning of a candle is combustion reaction. Combustion reaction release heat, and this can be detected and measured by the burning of a candle's wax. From these testable observations it is determined fact that candle burning is indeed exothermic.
When you burn a candle what is spontaneous combustion?
Burning a candle is not spontaneous combustion. That is when something ignites with no outside heat source. If a candle burst into flame with no match or lighter, THAT would be spontaneous combustion.
Is wood burning an example of combustion?
Yes, wood burning is an example of combustion.
Is a candle an example of sublimation?
A candle is an example of melting and burning.
Is a candle-burning a combinaion decomposition or replacement reaction?
Neither. It is a combustion reaction.
A candle burning is an example of .?
Yes
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.
Is burning a candle an example of convection?
Yes
Why does a candle not burn on the surface of the moon?
for combustion to take place there has to be heat, oxygen and a fuel. On the moon there is a fuel (wick of the candle) and heat(your fire source) but no oxygen as there is no atmosphere which makes combustion (burning) impossible.
When burning a candle is there fission?
No. Burning a candle is a combustion reaction. As with all chemical reactions the energy released comes from the rearrangement of the electron clouds that form chemical bonds. The nuclei of the atoms remain unchanged.
Example of produce gas in physical change?
burning of candle
