Why can you light a candle by putting a match flame in the smoke of a candle which has been blown out?
A very good question my freind and im surprised no one has given you the answer. This is very unusual thing since smoke is carbon dioxide and is NOT flamable but however the candle is coated in "proffin" so its the proffin in the smoke that causes the candle to light back up.
im not registerd to this site i just thought i would answer your Q if you had any other Q's or wanted to thank me my email is: j0k3r@live.com that is a zero not an o lol
WRONG /\
Actually, smoke is quite flammable. Smoke is generally seen from fires that are burning every inefficiently (such as one that is just put), thus the smoke contains a lot of the unburnt fuel. Efficient fires to not produce smoke.
Anyway, the smoke from the blown out candle is fuel...as it travels upwards it mixes with the oxygen in the air...thus we have two side of the fire triangle. However, since you cooled the candle (by blowing on it) you removed the last part, the heat; thus combustion stopped. When you light the smoke with a match, you re-introduce the heat and combustion begins anew.
Never heard of "proffin" nor was I able to find it on Google or anywhere. Did you mean paraffin? Candles are made of paraffin (that is actually what burns) the wick allows the flame to be incident on the surface of the wax; the wax vaporizes and is actually what burns not the wick.

No, a candle flame is not a living thing. Living things have the ability to grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and maintain homeostasis, qualities that a candle flame does not possess. A candle flame is a result of a chemical reaction between the wax and oxygen, producing light and heat.
What does the flame on the candle represent?
The flame on a candle is often seen as a symbol of life, light, hope, and purity. It can also represent warmth, guidance, and spiritual illumination. Additionally, in some cultures, the flame is believed to symbolize change and transformation.
What is a burning candle in the process of transforming?
A burning candle is undergoing a chemical reaction called combustion, where the heat from the flame vaporizes the candle wax. The vaporized wax mixes with oxygen in the air, creating a flame that releases heat and light. This process continues until the wax is fully consumed or the flame is extinguished.
What will melt in a candle flame?
Wax is the primary component that melts in a candle flame, as it is the fuel that provides the energy for the flame to burn. The heat of the flame causes the wax to melt, which then travels up the wick through capillary action and vaporizes to produce light and heat.
What does the candle react to in a jar?
The candle reacts to heat from the flame by melting the wax, allowing it to burn and release light and heat. It also reacts to oxygen in the air to sustain the combustion process, producing a flame.
Is candle flame a source of light?
The flame of a candle is a source of light.
What is an antonym for candle?

What goes out but never in?
A flame, a candle or a fire, a light.
How does candle light a bulb?
A candle flame consists of burning wax vapor which releases heat and light energy in the form of a flame. When the flame is close enough to the bulb's filament, which is typically made of tungsten, the heat from the candle causes the filament to heat up and glow, producing light.
Is a candle illuminated?
A candle can be illuminated usually when you light it... That's the whole point of a candle. A candle can be illuminated usually when you light it... That's the whole point of a candle.

Is a candle flame a living thing?
No, a candle flame is not a living thing. Living things have the ability to grow, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and maintain homeostasis, qualities that a candle flame does not possess. A candle flame is a result of a chemical reaction between the wax and oxygen, producing light and heat.
