no because when a substance changes its state of matter then it is NOT considered a chemical reaction or a chemical change.

Is wax in a candle burning an exothermic process or endothermic?
Exothermic process
What is the melting candle wax that is dripping down the side of the candle an example?
Physical change.
Is a burning candle exothermic reaction?
Yes, a burning candle is an example of an exothermic reaction. When the candle wax reacts with the oxygen in the air, it produces heat and light energy as byproducts. This release of heat is what makes the candle flame feel warm to the touch.
How do you know that a burning of candle wax is an exothermic change?
Because heat is coming out of the reaction, that means it is losing energy
Why the melting point of candle wax cannot be too high?
Candles contain organic compounds with low melting points.
Is wax in a candle burning an exothermic process or endothermic?
Exothermic process
Is candle wax melting physical property?
Melting candle wax is a chemical change. Why? Because when you cook or burn candle wax it melts so it is a chemical change.
Is candle wax a physical property?
Candle wax are generally organic compounds. melting of candle wax is a physical property
Is melting wax physical property?
Melting candle wax is a chemical change. Why? Because when you cook or burn candle wax it melts so it is a chemical change.
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.
What is the difference between melting of candle wax and burning of candle?
Burning a candle is the process in which the wick is burnt. The wax is there to make the wick burn slower in order to let the candle burn for longer. Melting wax is part of the process but not burning the candle itself.
What happens when melting candle wax?
it will go into space
State of the wax after candle is lit?
Melted/Melting.
Why do candles stored at room temp burn fastar than frozen candles?
A candle burns by melting the wax. If the wax of one candle starts out colder than the wax of another, then the wax of the colder candle takes longer to get to it's melting point than the other.
What is the melting candle wax that is dripping down the side of the candle an example?
Physical change.
Is melting of candle an exothermic or endothermic reaction?
It is exothermic. When you put your hand close to the burning candle, does the air feel cooler or warmer? If it feels cooler, then it is drawing in heat and is endothermic (endo = in). If it feels warmer, then it is giving off heat and is exothermic (exo = out). (If the system is gaining energy (heat) than it is endothermic, releasing energy is exothermic.)
Why does the wax not freeze at the top of candle?
The temperature is higher than the melting point of the wax.
