Equation for the combustion reaction of a candle?
appropriate chemical equation for the combustion of candle?
How is a burning candle both physical and chemical changes?
because of the digestions system of the candle is visible
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 is a chemical formula of candle wax?
Unbalanced: C25H52 + O2 → CO2 + H2O Balanced: C25H52 + 38 O2 → 25 CO2 + 26 H2O
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.
Equation for the combustion reaction of a candle?
appropriate chemical equation for the combustion of candle?
Is the wick of a burning candle part of the chemical reaction?
Yes, the wick is also burned.
Where does the fire of a candle get its heat according to the First Law of Thermodynamics?
From the energy that was once part of the chemical bonds in the burned wax.
Is cabdle is physical change?
I assume you're talking about burning a candle. Nope, it's a chemical change. Candle wax is a chemical, and when you burn the candle, the wax reacts with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor (neither of which you can see.) Any smoke you see if simply soot from the burning of the wick. (Looking a little deeper, wax, or paraffin, is a covalently bonded hydrocarbon alkane with the approximate formula C25H52. When it reacts with oxygen in a combustion reaction, the balanced equation for it is: C25H52 + 38O2 --> 25CO2 + 26H2O.)
What was left after the candle burned?
Pervasive darkness was.

What burned to give light?
The sun, lamps, candles, and ect.
What type of reaction occurs when a candle is burned?
There are 2; the melting of the candles wax is physical but the wick burning is chemical.
As a candle burns it gets shorter and shorter describe a chemical change that explain this?
I believe there is no chemical equation for this. this is because though the wick burning has a chemical reaction, the wax melting, making the candle shorter, is not undergoing a chemical reaction. simply a short change of state. If you were referring to the wick brurning though, this would be a combustion reaction. hope that helps.
Is it bad to touch candle?
Well, if you mean is it "bad luck" then no. But if you touch a candle you will get burned or hurt!
What is burned to give light that ends with le?
Candle
