A candle releases mainly carbon dioxide, water vapor, and trace amounts of other gases like carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide when it burns.
Carbon dioxide gas can extinguish a candle because it displaces oxygen in the air, which the candle needs to sustain a flame. When there is not enough oxygen, the candle cannot continue burning.
When a candle burns, the wax is drawn up the wick and vaporized into carbon dioxide and water vapor, releasing heat and light. The wax is essentially converted into these gases and released into the air.
Candle wax generally turns into a gas at around 482 degrees Fahrenheit (250 degrees Celsius). However, this can vary depending on the specific type of wax used in the candle.
The gas that comes out of the flame of a candle is primarily carbon dioxide and water vapor. When the candle burns, it undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air to produce these gases along with some light and heat.
The smoke released when a candle is extinguished is primarily composed of unburned hydrocarbons and soot particles. These particles are the byproducts of incomplete combustion of the candle wax and wick materials.
A trick candle has a trick wick of the trickiest kind.
Gaseous carbon dioxide is released and this gas doesn't support burning.
carbon dioxide :p
Helium is an inert gas and would smother a candle.
It depends on what kind of wax that the candle is made out of
Electric, oil and candle. There may have been some gas lighting, but i cannot confirm.
A candle uses a combustion reaction to release heat and gas.
Carbon dioxide gas can extinguish a candle because it displaces oxygen in the air, which the candle needs to sustain a flame. When there is not enough oxygen, the candle cannot continue burning.
A burning candle produces water vapor and carbon dioxide gas.

Candles give off thermal energy in the form of heat and light energy in the form of a flame. The primary source of energy in a candle is chemical potential energy stored in the wax, which is released through combustion when the candle is burned.
