Which produces more heat a gram of candle wax or gram of alcohol?
Candlewax or parafin (long chain saturated fat) produces more heat, or stores more energy than a short chain alcohol.
An acid produces what when it is dissolved in water?
A more dilute acid and often heat.
What is the reason for a yellow candle to burn faster than a colored candle'?
actually the color does not effect how fast the candle burn, i got confused of " Does candle's color effect how candle's burn?"but i think the color does not effect how candle burns. But some people will think that the white or yello candle will burn slower because color will obsorb the heat more. Hope i have answered your question.
Does water hold more heat energy than pure or drinking alcohol?
yes
Why does alcohol temp is low?
Actually alcohol at room temperature would be of the same temperature than water at room temperature. The difference between the two is that alcohol needs less heat to evaporate. If you wet either hand in alcohol and water, the one with alcohol will feel colder because it's removing more heat from you and faster. That's basically what cold is, the absence of heat.

Why do you think that candle with plant would burn for a longer time?
Candle burns oxygen. Plant produces oxygen from Carbon Dioxide. plant produces oxygen, which is burned by candle. Candle lasts longer because more oxygen is present
Which candle absorbs the most heat?
Black does because the darker the color is your using, the more and more it will absorb heat
What happens to the particles when a candle is burning?
The particles which are in a fixed position because the candle is a solid heat up and vibrate more this makes the candle expand
How does alcohol cause heat stroke?
alcohol causes dehydration which makes you more vulnerable to heat stroke
What is the difference between distillers yeast and regular yeast to bake with?
Brewers yeast produces more alcohol and less CO2. Bakers yeast produces more CO2 and less alcohol.
Does fermentation provide energy for a cell without using carbon dioxide?
Fermentation produces alcohol and carbon dioxide. Burning the alcohol produces more carbon dioxide.
How does the alcohol lamp transform heat energy?
An alcohol lamp consists of a small jar, often glass, with a wick which goes through a lid in the jar. It can be used in place of a candle or as a lantern. It can also be used in place of a Bunsen burner for gentle heating of something in a laboratory.The glass jar is filled with alcohol which is flammable. A wick dipped in the alcohol draws alcohol up through the lid, where it burns, like a candle. It can be use for heating at low temperaturesSee the Web Links and Related Questions to the left for more information and a picture.
Why burning a candle is an exothermic reaction not endothermic?
The reaction releases heat and light to its surroundings, so it is exothermic.
Why do high temperature make candle burn faster?
The heat melts the wax, and combined with more heat from the flame, it melts faster.
Why is petrol a better fuel then wax?
the fuel produces has higher ignition temperature and produces more heat
Sunlight produces more heat than?
Ummm . . . Sunlight itself produces no heat, but light comes from the Sun along with heat, x-rays, and other high-energy particles.
