What are the steps to prove that a burning of a candle is physical as well as a chemical change?

To prove that the burning of a candle is a physical and chemical change, you can observe the physical changes such as the melting of the wax and the formation of soot. Additionally, you can analyze the chemical changes by noting the production of carbon dioxide and water vapor during the combustion process. By observing both physical and chemical changes, you can demonstrate that burning a candle involves both types of transformations.


How is an chemical change differs from a physical change?
