Do lamps give off heat?
As a candle burns it produces the by products that are the result of that burning [burning of the wax and the wick] For the most part these by products are Carbon Dioxide, Water and Soot [Carbon] if the candle burns with a sooty flame.
What is the most prevalent metal in human body?
Calcium is the most prevalent in the human body.
What candle burns out first an oil candle or a wax candle?
Generally more energy is in a solid versus a liquid, so a wax candle will have more energy than an oil based candle which means the solid wax candle will burn out last over the oil one. Actually, I can't think of a case where the reverse is true. And btw, wax candle has around 42 kJ/g with oil candle being around ~30 kJ/g (type of oil will make a difference here). tho' i agree with most of the above, the most important part of any candle is the oil/oil byproduct/animal fat or beeswax that it is made from! a wax candle will NOT burn until it heats up enough to dissolve into an oil - which occurs between 140-160 degrees! therefore, an oil candle and a wax candle burn out at the same time!
How does the law of conservation of mass apply when wax appears to disappear as a burns?
Solid wax, a hydrocarbon, burns in oxygen (from the air) to produce invisible carbon dioxide and water (steam). So you see the wax disappear in a flame but don't notice the equivalent mass of hot gasses rising up. Weight of candle before lighting = 50g say. Weight the gases (not easy!) after candle completely gone = 50g. Compare and contrast the nuclear fission or a Uranium candle. Weight of candle before 'lighting' = 50g Weight of all products of nuclear fission after candle (and most likely your laboratory, street, town etc) has completely gone = 49.999g (or something). Where has the 0.00001g gone? An awful lot of heat.
Why does the black soot formed?
A small stable flame of a candle has a lot less black smoke than a larger flickering flame. Air around the burning candle causes this to happen.
When a candle burns what is the most prevalent products?
The most prevalent products of a candle burning are carbon dioxide, water vapor, and leftover wax residue.
When a candle burns the most prevalent product are?
The most prevalent products of a burning candle are carbon dioxide and water vapor. The flame heats the wax, causing it to vaporize and then burn. The reaction between the wax vapor and oxygen in the air produces carbon dioxide and water vapor, along with heat and light.
When the candle burns what falls?
Wax is made of hydrogen and carbon. When a candle burns, the hydrogen and carbon from the wax combine with the oxygen in the air to become carbon dioxide and water vapor. Most of the matter in the candle ends up as these two gases. If you are looking for candle making supplies, please check out ohcans candle.
What is regular candle?
There are so many types of candles. When you say a regular candle, it has to be the most common form of candles. It could be a uncolored paraffin taper candle. That is the most common type of candle. When the paraffin is not colored it is slightly yellowish. A colored candle burns in a different rate depending on the color used.

Which candle burns faster?
A parrafin candle, a beeswax candle, and a soy candle were burned at he same time. If you are lloking to buy a long lasting candle i suggest buying a parrafin candle( most candles are made from parrafin) Do not buy a bees wax candle they burn twice as fast as a regular candle
What is a chemical change in a candle?
Most candles are made from a hydrocarbon called parafin; it burns, producing carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Where was slavery most prevalent?
slavery is most prevalent in india
What is the most prevalent metal in human body?
Calcium is the most prevalent in the human body.
What are the most serious risks associated with consumer products?
amputation, electrocution, burns, asphyxiation, and cancer
What candle brand is most fragrant?
i Root, <<Just like it looks there<<. YES expensive, but a votive burns about 20 hours. Oh and the fragrance AAHHHHH wonderful.
Does the color of the candle affect the amount of time a candle will burn?
no, actually it depends on the wick of the candle. the color has nothing to do with it. A candle with a straight wick burns better and longer than a candle with a crooked wick. Also the wax has a lot to do with it. Wax is the most important ingredient that makes a candle burn faster. soft wax has a higher oil content and lower melt temperature; therefore, it burns faster. Candles in jars have a soft wax, and pillar candles have a hard wax. the longest burning candles are pillar candles made of a blend of beeswax and paraffin. To sum it up: color makes no difference at how fast a candle burns. black candles burn no faster than white candles. Wick size is the primary factor determining the candle burning rate. the bigger wick will deliver more fuel to the burning flame.
