Stored Chemical energy being converted to, and released as Heat energy.


Is burning a candle a chemical change or a physical change give reason?

It is both a physical and chemical change. The burning of the wick s chemical while the candle melting being physical.


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.

Yes! In order to breathe your cells must use energy, which is released when you are breathing while the energy is being used to breathe.


Why does a candle extinguish itself after being covered with a glass?

The burning flame on a candle needs three things to continue burning: 1) fuel, which it gets from the wick 2) heat, which comes from lighting the candle 3) oxygen Without any one or more of these three things, the candle will no longer continue to burn. In the case where a candle is covered with a glass, the candle quickly uses up the oxygen inside the glass. once all of the oxygen is gone, the flame will burn out.


How can you prove that when burning candle new materials are being made?

by testing it but i think that soot and carbon dioxide and melted wax is made...


Is a candle burning chemical change?

Yes, burning a candle is a chemical change. New chemical compounds are being formed as the reaction continues. The paraffin in the candle is a hydrocarbon chain, and it is "breaking down" chemically using oxygen from the air to form (idealy) carbon dioxide and water. But there are also physical changes that take place at the same time. Phenomena during the candle burning: - melting (physical phenomenon) - evaporation (may be considered a chemical but also a physical phenomenon) - oxydation - reaction with oxygen, burning (chemical phenomenon) - thermal decomposition (chemical phenomenon)


What is energy being released?

Kinetic energy.
