Perhaps the yellow candle contains hydrocarbons with a smaller carbon backbone. The smaller the carbon backbone, the faster the molecule (and hotter) will burn. Methane, Ethane, Propane, Butane.... Octane, Ethane (used in creation of ethanol) burn hotter than octane, but are all used for fuel. The larger (longer) the carbon backbone, the less volitile the hydrocarbon. See Web Links See the Web Links for "Wikipedia: List or inorganic compounds" to the bottom for the answer. Any chemical compound without a carbon is an inorganic compound.
In general, a compound that contains a carbon atom is an "organic" compound. There are exceptions: oxides of carbon like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide; salts of carbon, like cyanide, cyanate, and thiocyante. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inorganic_compounds_by_element for a detailed listing inorganic compounds by element.
A few examples of common inorganic compounds:
Carbon Dioxide, CO2
Hydrogen Chloride, HCl (when dissolved in water becomes Hydrochloric acid, aka stomach acid) Sulphuric acid, H2SO4

Do lighter colored candles have more wax then darker colored one?
light coloured candles do burn faster than darker coloured candles for one main reason. The darker the candle, the more dye molecules are involved in the candle which are non-flammable. Therefore, the lighter the candle, the less dye molecules are involved minimising the risk of the dye molecules interfering with the combustion process.
Do darker colored ice cubes melt faster than lighter colored ice cubes?
darker colours melnt faster than ligter colours due to the sun being attarcted to them
What lures do you use in feb-march?
i like a darker colored spinnerbait and/or a darker colored jig
Which colors absorb heat faster and which colors absorb heat slower?
Yes different colors do absorb heat differently. You can tell that darker colors absorb more heat than lighter colors because the light reflects off of the light colors.
What colour attracts the sun?
Colors do not "attract" heat. The heat is already present in the light around the area. The color either absorbs or reflects the light. Black absorbs the most. White reflects the most. The darker the color is, the more light/heat it absorbs.
Why do lighter colored candles burn faster than darker colored candles?
I still don't know.
Do lighter colored candles burn out faster then darker colored candles.....?
no the coloring does not matter only the quality of the candle really matters no also because darker the candle more heat it obsorbs from the fire
What scientist discovered that lighter colored fabric will keep you cooler the darker colors?
Sir John Leslie, a Scottish physicist, discovered that lighter-colored fabric helps keep you cooler than darker colors. This is because lighter colors reflect more sunlight and heat, while darker colors absorb more heat, making the person feel warmer.
Do darker colors get hotter or cooler?
Darker colors tend to absorb more light and heat, whereas lighter colors reflect more light and heat. This is why objects with darker colors might feel hotter to the touch when exposed to sunlight, compared to lighter-colored objects.
Do lighter colored candles have more wax then darker colored one?
light coloured candles do burn faster than darker coloured candles for one main reason. The darker the candle, the more dye molecules are involved in the candle which are non-flammable. Therefore, the lighter the candle, the less dye molecules are involved minimising the risk of the dye molecules interfering with the combustion process.
Why are lighter colors colder than darker colors?
Lighter colors reflect some heat while darker colors absorb it.
Why will you likely be cooler if you were a light colored shirt instead of a dark colored shirt on a warm day?
Darker colors absorb light and heat; lighter colors reflect light and heat.
Why do light colored buildings stay cooler in summer?
White (or lighter colors) reflects light while black (or darker colors) absorbs it as heat.
Why do dark colored shrits get hotter in the sun than light colored shrits?
Lighter colors reflect more light. Darker colors absorb more light. Sunlight is energy. You feel warmth when the sun shines on you because you are absorbing the energy of the sunlight. Darker colors absorb more energy so get warmer than lighter colors ------------------- Just like this answer ^^, dark colors do absorb more heat than lighter colors. Question is, I'm not really sure why.
Why do darker colors get cool faster than lighter colors?
Darker colors absorb more heat energy from sunlight than lighter colors. When the heat source, such as sunlight, is removed, darker colors also release that absorbed heat more quickly than lighter colors. This is why darker colors cool down faster than lighter colors.
Do lighter candles burn faster than darker candles?
yes they do because of the wax different.
I need to know why darker colored cans heat up faster than lighter colored cans but it is for a yr 8 assignment thanks?
Darker colored cans absorb more sunlight than lighter colored cans because they are better at absorbing all wavelengths of light. This absorbed energy is then converted to heat, causing the darker cans to heat up faster. Lighter colored cans reflect more sunlight, so they absorb less energy and heat up slower.
