Can burning a candle be reversible?

No, burning a candle is not reversible. When a candle is burned, the wax is melted and the wick is consumed, resulting in irreversible changes to the candle's structure.


Why does candle wax evaporate when the candle is burning?

Candle wax evaporates when the candle is burning because the heat from the flame causes the wax to melt and turn into a gas, which then evaporates into the air.


What happens to burning candle if there is no oxygen?

If there is no oxygen, a burning candle will not be able to sustain the combustion process since oxygen is needed for the flame to continue burning. The candle will eventually go out in the absence of oxygen.


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)


Why is burning a candle a closed system?

Burning a candle is considered a closed system because the wax and wick within the candle system are confined, and the energy and matter within the system (such as heat, light, and gases emitted) do not exchange with the surroundings. The energy released from burning the candle is contained within the system, making it a closed system.

How do you know that the burning of candle of wax is an exothermic change?

An exothermic reaction involves the release of heat into a system. The burning of a candle is combustion reaction. Combustion reaction release heat, and this can be detected and measured by the burning of a candle's wax. From these testable observations it is determined fact that candle burning is indeed exothermic.
