Which produces more heat a gram of candle wax or gram of alcohol?
A gram of candle wax produces more heat when burned compared to a gram of alcohol. Candle wax has a higher energy content per gram than alcohol, which results in more heat being released during combustion.
How is a candle light produced?
The heat initially melts the wax that is drawn into the wick. This burns and in doing so draws more metled medium to the wick. Because of the speed of burn and the speed the wax is drawn up the wick there is also burning of the wick as well
What happens when you burn both ends of a candle?
Burning both ends of a candle simultaneously will cause it to burn faster and produce more heat and light. This can lead to the candle melting unevenly and potentially dripping wax, shortening its overall burn time.
Does water hold more heat energy than pure or drinking alcohol?
Water has a higher specific heat capacity compared to pure or drinking alcohol. This means that water can hold more heat energy per unit mass. Therefore, water can absorb and retain more heat energy compared to alcohol.
What is the best insulator of heat nitrogen or alcohol?
Nitrogen is a better insulator of heat compared to alcohol. This is because nitrogen is a gas and has lower thermal conductivity than alcohol, which is a liquid. Nitrogen can create a barrier that inhibits heat transfer more effectively than alcohol.
Which produces more heat a gram of candle wax or gram of alcohol?
A gram of candle wax produces more heat when burned compared to a gram of alcohol. Candle wax has a higher energy content per gram than alcohol, which results in more heat being released during combustion.
Why do you think that candle with plant would burn for a longer time?
Candle burns oxygen. Plant produces oxygen from Carbon Dioxide. plant produces oxygen, which is burned by candle. Candle lasts longer because more oxygen is present
What happens to a candle in a spacecraft?
In a spacecraft, a candle flame burns in a more rounded shape due to lack of gravity pulling the flame upward. The lack of convection causes the flame's heat to be trapped near the candle, making it burn more slowly and with less flickering. Additionally, the candle produces more soot in microgravity as combustion is less efficient.
Which candle absorbs the most heat?
Black does because the darker the color is your using, the more and more it will absorb heat
How does the alcohol lamp transform heat energy?
An alcohol lamp consists of a small jar, often glass, with a wick which goes through a lid in the jar. It can be used in place of a candle or as a lantern. It can also be used in place of a Bunsen burner for gentle heating of something in a laboratory.The glass jar is filled with alcohol which is flammable. A wick dipped in the alcohol draws alcohol up through the lid, where it burns, like a candle. It can be use for heating at low temperaturesSee the Web Links and Related Questions to the left for more information and a picture.
What happens to the particles when a candle is burning?
The particles which are in a fixed position because the candle is a solid heat up and vibrate more this makes the candle expand
How is a candle light produced?
The heat initially melts the wax that is drawn into the wick. This burns and in doing so draws more metled medium to the wick. Because of the speed of burn and the speed the wax is drawn up the wick there is also burning of the wick as well
Do lamps give off heat?
As a candle burns it produces the by products that are the result of that burning [burning of the wax and the wick] For the most part these by products are Carbon Dioxide, Water and Soot [Carbon] if the candle burns with a sooty flame.
What is the difference between distillers yeast and regular yeast to bake with?
Brewers yeast produces more alcohol and less CO2. Bakers yeast produces more CO2 and less alcohol.
How does alcohol cause heat stroke?
alcohol causes dehydration which makes you more vulnerable to heat stroke
What happens when you burn both ends of a candle?
Burning both ends of a candle simultaneously will cause it to burn faster and produce more heat and light. This can lead to the candle melting unevenly and potentially dripping wax, shortening its overall burn time.
Does a candle become less viscous with heat?
No, if the fuel remains the same (the wax) the flame and heat will remain the same.
