yes. the wax vapor will build to your lungs and you'll die.
The smoke released when a candle is extinguished is primarily composed of unburned hydrocarbons and soot particles. These particles are the byproducts of incomplete combustion of the candle wax and wick materials.
The smoke from a candle originates from the incomplete combustion of the wax fuel. As the candle burns, the wax vaporizes and mixes with oxygen in the air. If the combustion is not efficient, it can produce smoke particles in the form of soot.
Yes, the black smoke from a candle is a result of a chemical change. It is the incomplete combustion of the wax in the candle, producing carbon particles that are visible as black smoke.
because, when the wax is lit it burns off as a vapor, when the candle was extinguished the wax vapor was still in the air, and the wax acts as fuel for the flame of a candle, so the flame combusted and lit the vapor, leading back to the candle wick.
The smoke from the candle has vaporized wax, which is highly flammable vs carbon soot. When the flame touches the stream of vaporized wax (smoke) the heat is transferred back to the wick relighting it.
The black smoke produced from a burning candle is a physical change. This is because the change in appearance (from no smoke to black smoke) does not involve a change in the chemical composition of the candle wax or the oxygen in the air. The black smoke is primarily made up of tiny carbon particles that result from incomplete combustion of the candle wax.
The white smoke from a candle is caused by incomplete combustion of the candle wax, which releases tiny carbon particles in the air. These particles scatter light, making the smoke appear white. It is a normal occurrence when a candle burns.
No, candle wax is not a conductor of electricity. It is an insulator.
A wax candle is an example of something made of wax that can be lit.
When a candle "goes out" the burning of the wax has stopped, but there is still some burning of the wick material. Typically this burning is less intense and less "clean" than the burning of the wax and gives off more smoke. Once the wick stops burning, there should not be any more smoke.
Tallow is used as candle wax
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.
