The scent [note correct spelling] does not usually affect the rate of burning of a candle. There would be an effect only if the chemical that furnishes the scent happened also to be a catalyst for burning or to contain a flame retardant, but most chemicals added to candles to supply them with scent do not have such properties.

Do colored candles burn at the same rate as white candles?
The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax. Color is not the dominant factor. Wind and temperature will also affect the rate of burning.
Does white candles burn at a different rate than colored candles?
yes, i believe that white candles burn at a different rate because white candles have less chemicals and are plain so they have a possibility of burning at a different rate and colored candles contain more chemicals and are thicker and they put smelly scent in them so i do believe that colored and white candles burn at a different rate in my perspective that is what i most believe so there you got my opinion :D this be Natalie trujillo Monique
Does the color of a candle affect the burning rate?
the color has nothing to do with the candle at diffrent burning rate it is the wick. We found that color does make a difference. We bought the exact same candles except each candle was a different color. Found out that the white candle burned down the fastest, the red was next, and so on. So candle wax color does make a difference in the burning rate of a candle. ( My daughter had a science experiment)
Why does a white candle burn at a faster rate than a colored candle?
Coloring of a candle does not affect the burn time of candles. Larger wicks on candles may cause it to burn faster, and the type of wax used also affects burning rate. Soft wax, typically found in jars, has a higher oil content, which allows it to burn faster. Pillar candles most commonly use harder wax, which will burn slower.

no
What do you need to perform experiment for burning white and colored candles to see if they burn at same rate?
You need white and colored candles, a timer, and a lighter.

What is the rate of paper?
the burning rate of paper actually depends on the type of paper because they all have different densitys which will affect the burning rate of each type paper.in conclusion there are different burning rates.

Does area affect a candels burning rate?
The area of a candle itself would not normally affect the burning rate of the candle, but the area and transport rate of the candle wick could affect these properties. When in use, mot candles burn at the upper end of their wicks, to which the liquefied material of the candle is transported through its wick to bring the liquefied material into optimal contact with oxygen from the air. If a wick is extra large and/or transports the liquefied substance of the candle with more speed than average, the candle would burn faster.
What burns faster scented or un-scented candles?
It shouldn't matter... There isn't that much fragrance, so it shouldn't affect the burn rate.
