When a candle burns the wax is reacting with oxygen in the air to give out heat and light.
If you give the candle more oxygen then it will burn brighter ... but it will burn out more quickly.
The burning of the candle (a chemical reaction) is affected by the number of oxygen molecules around it.
So the speed of the chemical reaction is affected by the concentration of oxygen

What is the chemical reaction when you burn a candle inside a glass beaker?
It is an oxydation reaction.
What changes occur when a chemical reaction?
Changing temperature, density and pressure occur when a chemical reaction.
How we know a chemical change has occurred when burning a candle?
Burning is a chemical reaction, an oxydation.
What changes the rate of a chemical reaction or allows a chemical reaction to occur?
Heat?
How does the evolution of gas occur in a chemical reaction give an example?
This is a sign of a chemical reaction.
What is the chemical reaction when you burn a candle?
When a candle burns the reactions that occur are both chemical and physical. Chemical reaction is when substances are mixed together to create a different material. A physical reaction is when there is a change in the appearance of the substance. For example when water turns to ice, and when chocolate melts. The chemical reaction that happens when a candle burns is when the oxygen combines with the paraffin. When this happens, this makes carbon dioxide, water and other materials. When the wax reacts with the oxygen it gives off light and heat. The more oxygen that reacts with the candle when it burns, the brighter and hotter it is. The physical reaction that occurs is when the candle wax melts. When the energy (light and heat) inside of the candle is released it helps to melt the candle.
