Is a burning candle exothermic reaction?
Yes, a burning candle is an example of an exothermic reaction. When the candle wax reacts with the oxygen in the air, it produces heat and light energy as byproducts. This release of heat is what makes the candle flame feel warm to the touch.
Why burning a candle is an exothermic reaction not endothermic?
The reaction releases heat and light to its surroundings, so it is exothermic.
How do you know that a burning of candle wax is an exothermic change?
Because heat is coming out of the reaction, that means it is losing energy
Is wax in a candle burning an exothermic process or endothermic?
Exothermic process
Does wood undergo an exothermic reaction or an endothermic reaction?
Like all burning reactions (with oxygen that is) burning wood is also exothermic.
How do you know that the burning of candle of wax is an exothermic change?
An exothermic reaction involves the release of heat into a system. The burning of a candle is combustion reaction. Combustion reaction release heat, and this can be detected and measured by the burning of a candle's wax. From these testable observations it is determined fact that candle burning is indeed exothermic.
