What name is given to a process such as a burning candle?
The process of a burning candle is known as combustion. During combustion, the candle wax reacts with oxygen in the air to release energy in the form of heat and light.
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.
When you burn a candle what is spontaneous combustion?
Burning a candle is not spontaneous combustion. That is when something ignites with no outside heat source. If a candle burst into flame with no match or lighter, THAT would be spontaneous combustion.
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.
What name is given to a process such as burning a candle?
The process of burning a candle is called combustion, which is a chemical reaction involving oxygen that produces heat and light. During combustion, the wax in the candle combines with oxygen in the air to release carbon dioxide and water vapor along with heat and light.
Is a candle-burning a combinaion decomposition or replacement reaction?
Neither. It is a combustion reaction.
A candle burning is an example of .?
Yes
Is a candle an example of sublimation?
No, a candle is not an example of sublimation. Sublimation is the process by which a substance transitions from a solid directly to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. Candles involve the solid wax melting into a liquid state and then being converted into gas through combustion.
If the gases released by a burning candle could be contained and measured would you see that their mass is the same as the candle's was before it was lit and what law does this example describe?
This experiment is a verification of the law of the conservation of matter. And yes, the mass of all the combustion products would be equal to the mass of the candle and the oxygen it consumed while burning.
What does a low burning candle mean?
A low burning candle could mean that the wick is too short or that the candle is experiencing issues with airflow. This can result in incomplete combustion and a weaker flame. Adjusting the wick length and ensuring proper ventilation can help improve candle burning.
Is a burning candle luminous?
Yes, a burning candle is luminous because it produces its own light through the process of combustion. The flame emits light and heat as a result of the energy released during the burning of the candle wax.
Is burning a candle an example of convection?
Yes
