Why do candles burn?

Why does scented candles burn faster then unscented candles?
Because scented candles are scented using a chemical smell that will make the flame burn more through the candles wax.
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)
What ingredients make scented and unscented candles different?

Why do you blow out candles on a birthday cake?

How do you make a chandelier in minecraft?
You use fences down from the ceiling in any style you like. EDIT: I used 2 fence pieces (either nether or normal fence) from the ceiling, then arrange fence pieces on all sides of the lowest fence post so you get a cross shape suspended from the ceiling. Then attach fences to the ends of that '+' so you make a larger x and put candles on top of all the uncovered posts. Then place a smaller x attached below the first, without candles to create a sort of triangular formation. It's easier to show a pic but I can't.
What the dependent variable of do white candles burn faster than colored candles?
All else being held constant - the dependent variable is the composition of the chemical(s) used to color the colored candles. Some additives will speed burning because they are themselves flammable. Some will slow burning because they are less flammable. Some will cause the melting point of the wax to be depressed so that the wax melts quicker - and as it melts and drains away, the candle will burn faster. A more critical factor in reality though is that colored candles are usually made with a different composition than white candles to make it easier to color them. Not only do they contain something to give them color - the composition of the wax the color is added to is different as well. Once you change the basic composition of the candle that much it is tough to compare the candles. It becomes like trying to compare burning oak to burning pine. Yeah - they are similar but you really are not burning the same thing and you don't expect them to burn at the same rate. By controlling the composition of the wax, you can make candles burn faster or slower - without respect to what color they are or if they have no color at all (assuming you don't call white a color).
