When a candle burns, the paraffin wax reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor. The carbon atoms in the paraffin combine with oxygen from the air to produce heat, light, carbon dioxide, and water. This chemical reaction is why the substances in paraffin change when a candle burns.
Water H20, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and ash (potassium salts etc).
Burning is an irreversible change that produces new substances. When a substance burns, it undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen to form new compounds like carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ash. This transformation is not easily reversible, as the original substances are no longer present in their original form.
Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen. <- There are three new ones.
a chemical reaction
Carbon dioxide and water, assuming the fuel is a hydrocarbon.
A chemical reaction is the change that takes place when different substances react with one another to form new substances. The substances that react in a chemical reaction are called the reactants and the new substances formed are called the products.
To form new substances.
Wood ash (potash) is the main result of burning wood and potash can be used in the garden as a fertilizer. Also, if wood is slowly burnt (charred?) in a kiln, where oxygen is kept out, charcoal is produced.
When a log burns in a fireplace, the matter in the log undergoes a chemical reaction called combustion. The heat from the fire breaks down the chemical bonds in the wood, releasing energy in the form of heat and light. The carbon in the wood combines with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and other byproducts like water vapor and ash.
Yes, after a chemical reaction new substances are formed.
