What is the dependent variable of do colored candles or white candles burn faster?
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).
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.
Does a scented or unscented candle burn faster and how do you know?
actually sented candles burn slower then non-sented candlesThe answer above is correct though many people think that is makes no difference. So I suggest you get a lot of answers from people and find the majority.
