Why do candle wax and wick both disappear when they are burnt?
They are both Consumed in the process called Combustion.
Can you mix candle wax?
How do I make floor wax with candles
What is in a colored candle?
in a colored candle there is wax
What wax is in a candle?
carbon dioxide and water if there is not enough oxygen in the air when it burns, then it is called incomplete combustion. a colourless, odourless, poisonous gas carbon monoxide can be formed, as well as the much more common carbon (soot)
Where does water vapour from a candle come from?
The heat from a candle is stored in the chemical bonds of the oxygen and the candle wax. When you use a match to light the candle, you are activating the chemical reaction between the oxygen and the wax, which releases the energy stored in the bonds of the wax and oxygen. The products of the reaction, carbon dixode and water, require less energy for their bonds. So, all the extra energy that was stored in the wax and the oxygen is released to the air around the candle (the extra air that's not being used to react with the wax). Remember, if you put a jar over a candle, it will go out because it runs out of oxygen to react with.
Why when you burn a candle the mass decreases?
Maybe a better question is whether a candle AND it's combustion products gets heavier or lighter. Since a candle uses the oxygen from the air, the total mass gets heavier than the original candle.
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 are the two products of combustion of a candle?
Products include heat, carbon, and water.
What are the two products made during the complete combustion of Paraffin Wax?
water vapour and carbon products of combustion.
Why do candle wax and wick both disappear when they are burnt?
They are both Consumed in the process called Combustion.
What energy is stored in the wax of a candle?
It is potential energy inside the candle and wick and then made into light and heat energy by combustion
What is the equation for burning a candle?
The equation for burning th candle can be this: Paraffin Wax (C25H52) + Oxygen (O2) → Carbon Dioxide (CO2) + Water Vapor (H2O) Following the similar train of thought, you can see that paraffin wax can be substitute with bees wax, soy wax. The nature of wax can differ, so those the compound. However, the chemical combustion formula stays the same.

What are the by products of sheep and lambs?
Some examples are gum, candle wax, and sweaters.
Is wax a fuel?
Yes, wax in a candle is one of the two substances that causes the candle to burn (oxygen is the other.) The reactants are therefore wax and oxygen, and the products are carbon dioxide and water vapor (and heat/light.)
Is candle wax a conductor?
The candle wax is an insulator.
What are 3 products of a burning candle?
Molted wax, ignited cotton thread and oxygen.
What is the effect of candle wax?
Candle wax is the fuel a candle uses to keep burning. So, I guess the effect of the wax is the candle keeps burning.
