Kerosine
Kerosene is a thin, clear liquid formed from hydrocarbons, with density of 0.78-0.81 g/cm3. It is obtained from the fractional distillation of petroleum between 150 °C and 275 °C, resulting in a mixture of carbon chains that typically contain between 6 and 16 carbon atoms per molecule. The flash point of kerosene is between 37 and 65 °C (100 and 150 °F) and its autoignition temperature is 220 °C (428 °F). The heat of combustion of kerosene is similar to that of diesel: its lower heating value is around 18,500 Btu/lb, or 43.1 MJ/kg, and its higher heating value is 46.2 MJ/kg. Kerosene is immiscible in water (cold or hot), but miscible in petroleum solvents.

Chemically, a wax is a type of lipid that may contain a wide variety of long-chain alkanes, esters, polyesters and hydroxy esters of long-chain primary alcohols and fatty acids. They are usually distinguished from fats by the lack of triglyceride esters of glycerin (propan-1,2,3-triol) and three fatty acids. In addition to the esters that contribute to the high melting point and hardness of carnauba wax, the epicuticular waxes of plants are mixtures of substituted long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons, containing alkanes, fatty acids, primary and secondary alcohols, diols, ketones, aldehydes. Paraffin waxes are hydrocarbons, mixtures of alkanes usually in a homologous series of chain lengths.

Why is the candle burning a chemical change?
It is a chemical change because inside the stove the Kerosene gets burnt and produces flames and energy in the form of heat and light. We cannot get back Kerosene again from the products of is combustion. Hence, we call the combustion of Kerosene as a Chemical Change.
What are the physical properties of wax in a burning candle?
Wax will melt and is converted from solid to liquid. It is a physical change.
What odor have kerosene?
The odor of kerosene is "aromatic".
Which burns slower kerosene or gasoline?
Kerosene
Is Kerosene natural gas?
No, kerosene is a liquid

Why does kerosene oil burns with a flame whereas coal does not?
This is because coal does not have complete combustion whereas candle or kerosene burns completely
Does a candle light go out by every liquid?
Try putting gasoline or kerosene on your candle, both are liquids. On second thought DON'T!
What is a wick?
A wick is a bundle of fibres within a candle, an oil lamp, or a kerosene heater.
Which is more viscous water or kerosene?
Water and wax do not go together. Think of the reason why people wax their cars. If the car gets wet the wax allows the water to form droplets and slide off. The wax and the water do not mix. Another way to think of it is floating candles. If the wax dissolved in the water then it wouldn't be a floating candle anymore. So my guess is that it is more soluble in kerosene.
What tools will you use with a city with no lights?
An oil or kerosene lamp. A candle would work too.
What are the common physical properties of nail and candle?
The physical properties of a candle are length, diameter, color, density, mechanical resistance.
What are the physical properties of nail and candle?
Oxidizable solid
What candle scents have soothing properties?
Lavender, vanilla, ginger and lemon are known to have soothing properties.
What are the properties of a candle?
Color, Odor, Length, Mass, Waxy texture
What energy use in lamp?
Many lamps use electrical energy, but some lamps use chemical energy, for example a kerosene lamp or a candle.
