Unbalanced: C25H52 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
Balanced: C25H52 + 38 O2 → 25 CO2 + 26 H2O
Balanced: C25H52 + 38 O2 → 25 CO2 + 26 H2O
Balanced Equation:
C25H52 + 38O2 = 25CO2 + 26H2O
i'm a different person to s/he ^^
anyway, in other words a jumble of letters and words put into 1! :D
The wax becomes many gases, the string becomes ash.
The melting of candle wax is a physical change; the wax is going from the solid state to the liquid state.
Therefore, there is no chemical equation for the melting of candle wax.
Parmentiera cereifera + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + Dihydrogen monoxide + :)
(C25H52) (o2) (co2) (h2o) (:))
For candles are used not only a type of wax; each has a specific composition.
Q=Sp.heat, Mass, Delta Temperature
Melting candle wax is a chemical change. Why? Because when you cook or burn candle wax it melts so it is a chemical change.
A chemical name for the main ingredient of a candle is "paraffin", but this is a generic chemical name and does not correspond to any exact formula. It can be written generically as CnH(2n + 2), where n represents a collection of positive integers that are all high enough for the compounds represented for a particular choice of n to be solids at room temperature.
The equation for burning th candle can be this: Paraffin Wax (C25H52) + Oxygen (O2) → Carbon Dioxide (CO2) + Water Vapor (H2O) Following the similar train of thought, you can see that paraffin wax can be substitute with bees wax, soy wax. The nature of wax can differ, so those the compound. However, the chemical combustion formula stays the same.

The chemical energy stored in the candle wax.
There are multiple physical changes and chemical changes that occur when a candle burns. One physical change is that the candle melts back into liquid wax. One chemical change is flame burning on the wick.

Candle wax is a form of chemical energy.
Some wax burns, and as it does so, chemical changes occurs. Wax converts to CO2, CO, and H2O. That is an exothermic reaction The rest of the wax melts with the increased temperature. That is the physical change.

The wax in the candle contains chemical energy. When you burn the candle the chemical energy is transferred into heat (thermal) and light energy.
It is a physical change, from a solid to a liquid. The chemical composition of the wax remains unchanged.
For the wax, yes. It changes to a liquid and then back to a solid. But some of the wax is also consumed in a chemical change as it oxidizes, along with the burning wick.
