The center, because oxygen or fuel cannot reach the center. Without fuel there is no combustion
the blue zone and the non - luminous zone of a candle flame are the two most polluting zones.
when a candle is lighted ; this is what happens : the solid wax melts and rises up the wick. The wax vapours react with oxygen to burn as a flame. The candle starts melting. This is a physical change. while observing the candle flame we see that the candle has 3 zones. Non - Luminous zone is the innermost zone. It appears as a dark zone and is the coldest part of the candle flame due to less oxygen. Then comes the Luminous zone , it is yellow and opaque. The glowing of carbon particles cause the flame to look yellow and emit light. Then , Invisible zone - it is the outermost zone of the candle flame. it is the hottest zone and cannot be seen with naked eye. Combustion reaction comes to completion here and carbon changes into carbon dioxide.
This is because coal does not have complete combustion whereas candle or kerosene burns completely
appropriate chemical equation for the combustion of candle?
Non-open flame combustion
partial combustion takes place here and wax vapour start burning with a yellowwish flame . this region of candle flame is moderately hot. so it is called as the luminous zone
These are the 4 zones of a candle flame from outermost to innermost A Non luminous zone . or zone of complete combustion b. Luminous zone or zone of incomplete combustion c. Dark zone or zone of no combustion d. Blue zone
The candle flame has 4 zones from innermost to outermost: 1)Blue zone: It is near the base of the flame. Here the fresh air rapidly mixes with was vapour formed from the molten wax.A part of wax vapour completely burns and gives rise to blue flame. 2)Dark inner zone: This part consists of unburnt wax vapour given off by molten wax.It is the coldest part of the flame It is dark because of of decomposed carbon particles. 3) Luminous zone: In this zone partial combustion takes place with liberation of a lot of heat. This zone is hotter than the dark inner zone. 4) Non luminous zone:It is a zone were complete combustion takes placeIt is hottest part of the flame and is hardly visible.
non luminous zone: outermost not fully visible complete combustion zoneluminous zone : incomplete combustion zone pale yellow in colordark zone : no combustion dark in color coldest zoneblue zone : bottom zone blue in color carbon monoxide wax vapors
Burning a candle is not spontaneous combustion. That is when something ignites with no outside heat source. If a candle burst into flame with no match or lighter, THAT would be spontaneous combustion.
candles burn with a yellow flame because its an incomplete combustion
the blue zone and the non - luminous zone of a candle flame are the two most polluting zones.
innermost zone outer zone middle zone
The candle has 4 zones: Blue zone Dark inner zone luminous zone non-luminous zone
define luminous zone of flame
Candle burns with a yellow flame because its an incomplete combustion. The temperature of the flame also relates to its colour and also the trace metal ions present will influence the flame colour.
Because it is the hottest zone of a candle flame.
