What is the conclusion for do white candles burn at a different rate then colored candles?

White canldes will probably burn at a different rate than colored candles for the simple reason that in order to get different colors, candles will have different compositions - you have to put different dyes (or other color source) into candles to make some of them green, some of them blue, some of them orange, etc. etc. etc. With that said, most of the time if all you have done is add a little bit of color to the wax, it won't affect the burn rate very much. Also keep in mind that even if you do change the burn rate, you would have to know what you used to make the color in order to determine if the burn rate increased or decreased. Burn rate depends on composition. Color depends on composition. Burn rate is only indirectly related to color.


How would you do a science project on whether white candles burn faster than colored candles?

You take two identical candles (eccept for the color) and you light them at exactly the same time and time how long it takes them to burn out and the one that burns out quickest........well thats the one that burns out quickest. Brutally simple lad.


Writing a topic page on do colored candles burn faster than white candles?

white candles burn faster because colored candles have more chemicals which take a longer time to burn,although it also depends on the wick of the candle if it is cheap it wont burn if its a good quality wick it will burn. =) my science fair project...


Do white candles burn out at a different time than colored candles?

yes because a white candle burns out faster


Does the thickness of a candle affect the burn time of a candle?

Yes, thicker candles have more wax to burn and therefor take longer to burn out.

Which candles would burn longer cake with 8 candles or cake with 7 candles?

As long as they were all lit at the same time, they would burn for the same amount of time (regardless of the number of candles).

What candle burns longer a blue candle or green candle?

The colour would not make any difference to the speed at which they burn. It's at least theoretically possible that a candle company might choose to color-code candles for some specific purpose (for example: candles intended as chafing dish warmers, or something) based on burn time, but for regular decorative candles the color is irrelevant.

no, you can but you dont have to all you have to do is time them and compare the times, so you can do them at different times

Which candles burn the slowest so the candle will last a long time?

I dont know about what brand burns the slowest as there would be thousands of brands out there, mostly all made from the same thing but if you freeze or refridgerate your candles they will last hours longer.


What candle burns longer a red candle or a green candle?

Umm actually both candles are the same unless one is smaller or bigger than the other but the burn both the same amount of time. No! Neither candles. They both burn shorter! This was a trick question told by my tour guide...There were two hints: It does not matter what color the candles are, and 2. There is a second meaning in one of the words.
