Is carbon given off by a burning candle?

If the flame is allowed to cool before complete combustion, then carbon black may be formed. Made by different methods, this is an important industrial chemical.


Is gas burning a physical change or chemical change?

Burning is a chemical change. Any burning process is the thermal decomposition of the material that is burnt. The flame that is seen during the burning process (for solids and liquids) is not a physical entity but actually the chemical disintegration of the gas that is formed from the decomposition of the burning element. (Correction - it can be a physical entity. The yellow or white flame is actually white hot carbon particles that cool off and produce soot). Since, in case of gaseous burning the material is already in the gaseous state it directly gets thermally disintegrated into simpler products. For example: * When gasoline burns it first get converted into its vapor which then decomposes into simpler matter (carbon or simple carbon based compounds). * When gaseous methane burns it gets converted to Carbon and Hydrogen gas (correction - sorry, no. It gets converted into carbon dioxide and water. It cannot get converted into hydrogen because that itself would burn to form water). In both these cases the burning process is chemical, the flame is the component gas at high temperature, and the color of the flame is characteristic of the chemical composition of the burning gas.


What is a harmful gas given off by coal-burning power plants?

Sulfur Dioxide is given off by coal-burning power plants


Why is it important to blow out the flame before the methanol is completely consumed?

Burning to dryness can cause your watch glass to break. Burning all the methanol allows for contamination to occur. Burning all the methanol off creates a dangerous flame. Burning to dryness can cause your watch glass to break. Burning all the methanol creates a hotter surface as the flame is trying to burn the dry salts. Blow out the flame before the methanol is completely consumed.

What is the chemical composition of a flame?

A flame is pure energy so it has no real chemical composition except from the chemical compositions of the oxygen and fuel (usually hydrocarbons) needed for it to burn. A flame requires fuel, oxygen and heat energy, although it gives off light and heat energy as well. The act of burning is reacting the fuel with oxygen in the air but the flame itself has no chemical composition.


Is their always a flame burning on oil drilling rigs?

No not always; the flame is the rig (or FPSO) burning off the gas which comes up with the oil.


What gas comes off a burning flame?

Carbon dioxide and water vapor come from a flame.


Is a candle burns chemical reaction?

Yes, burning a candle is a chemical reaction. The easiest way to tell if something is a chemical reaction is if heat or light are given of, a new substance is formed, or a colour change happens. Chemical changes are irreversible.Yes, whenever a candle burns, it is a combustion reaction between the carbon compounds of the wick and wax of the candle and of oxygen in the air. These compounds burn to create carbon dioxide and water, and also a few smaller carbon compounds, which is evident as the smoke rising occasionally from the flame. The flame you see and the heat you feel rising off of the burning wick is the evidence of an exothermic chemical reaction.Yes, burning a candle is a chemical reaction. The easiest way to tell if something is a chemical reaction is if heat or light are given of, a new substance is formed, or a colour change happens. Chemical changes are irreversible.


Why does the flame of a candle die when you cut off air supply?

Oxygen is needed for burning. If there is no oxygen flame dies.


How do you mask the color given off in a flame test with the normal color of fire?

If you open the valve on the bunsen burner fully the flame becomes virtually invisible and therefore there are no interactions between the original flame colour and the colour produced by the chemical.


What is a chemical reaction in which more energy is given off than taken in?

Combustion, burning, releases more heat that is taken in to start the reaction.
