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.)
No, it is exothermic (releasing heat). However, the process of lighting the candle requires an endothermic application of energy (adding heat).
No, burning is always an exothermic chemical change
Melting is an endothermic process.Candle wax absorbs heat from surrounding which is produced due to burning of candle and this heat is used to change the phase from solid to liquid state.
It is exothermic as it gives off heat
Exothermic, because it gives out heat.
This is an exothermic process.
Endothermic
Yes it is.
Exothermic
exothermic- because exothermic gives off heat and endothermic is cold
The answer is endothermic. The wax is absorbing heat energy, not producing it, and changing from a solid state to a liquid state. If the reactants require more energy than than they are putting out during the reaction, it is said to be endothermic (absorbing of heat). If the reactants give off heat of their own (self sustaining), then it is an exothermic reaction. There are components in some types of wax that will burn, in which case that is an example of an exothermic reaction, but most wax will stop once the heat source is removed.
Plants are endothermic because they use photosynthesis as their means of obtaining energy and endothermic means energy obtaining. A candle flame would be considered exothermic because it releases heat.
A chemical reaction that gives off heat ... like burning a candle.
The melting point of the candle is 47 Celsius.
Because exothermic change releases energy.
An exothermic reaction is a reaction where heat or light energy is released. An example of this type of reaction is burning a candle.
The reaction releases heat and light to its surroundings, so it is exothermic.

A melting candle demonstrates physical reaction.
It is called an exothermic reaction. Example: a burning candle
no because when a substance changes its state of matter then it is NOT considered a chemical reaction or a chemical 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.
Plants are endothermic because they use photosynthesis as their means of obtaining energy and endothermic means energy obtaining. A candle flame would be considered exothermic because it releases heat.
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.
