Is melting of wax is chemical change or physical?

Yes it is!:Pwhen a candle is lighted the solid wax changes into liquid wax,then it turns into vapour to produce flame.new substances like Co2 and H2O are formed alongwith the evoulation of light and heat.

What is the different between vapour and steam?

If you look carefully at a boiling kettle, water vapour is the white vapour you can see. Steam is actually the invisible short section between the spout of the kettle and the start of the water vapour.

Is wax in all its phases flammable?

wax as a solid is not flammable it will melt but not catch fire.wax as a liquid will only melt.so. no^^ no. your wrong. lolwax as a solid does turn to liquid, and in a candle, for example, the wick is burning the vapour from the liquid wax which is actually very flammable.


A lit candle on a balance losses mass why?

The wax of the candle is made from hydrocarbons - compounds made up of carbon and hydrogen only.When hydrocarbons burn in a plentiful supply of air they all produce the gas carbon dioxide and water vapour, both of which dissipate into the air.So when a candle burns, its wax is slowly being converted into carbon dioxide and water vapour which disappear into the air surrounding the candle, and so its mass appears to decrease.However, if you collected all the carbon dioxide and water vapour given off by the burning candle, and weighed it, you would find that it weighed more than the wax from which it came, because in the process of burning he wax had combined with the oxygen in the air, thus increasing its mass.


What do candles consist of?

AnswerA candle consists primarily of wax and a wick. Many candles also contain dyes or pigments for color and fragrances for scent as well as other minor ingredients.***Candle wax, or Paraffin, its scientific name, is a heavy hydrocarbon, which means consists of carbon and hydrogen.When a candle is burned, the Paraffin wax reacts with O2 (oxygen gas) in the air to produce water and carbon dioxide.The wick of a candle is made up of absorbent fibres. The water vapour that comes off when the paraffin wax is heated is absorbed by these fibres. Because the wick is now damp from the water vapour, it cannot be burned and therefore maintains a flame.Most candles i have are made from wax, wax is a substance that is hard but if you put it in a hot place i am sure it will melt.


What branch science for candles?

The wax in a candle turns to liquid as heat is supplied to it by the flame.The wax goes up the wick by capillary action and turns into vapour and than burns to form CO2 vapour and heat and light..
