The burning of a candle is spontaneous because it does not require continual input of energy.
chemical->heat
It is called an exothermic reaction. Example: a burning candle
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.
exothermic chemical reaction is any reaction that releases energy to the enviorementex: burning a candle (heat energy is released) eutralization reaction
Because exothermic change releases energy.
A burning candle produces thermal energy and light.
An exothermic reaction is a reaction where heat or light energy is released. An example of this type of reaction is burning a candle.
Because heat is coming out of the reaction, that means it is losing energy
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.
More accurately, burning candles convert energy from one form to another. The chemical energy available in the wax of the candle is converted, through the chemical reaction of burning, into primarily light and heat.

Three main things come from a burning candle: light, heat, Thermal energy x
