How does burning candle affect mass differently than melting a candle?
When a candle burns, it undergoes a chemical reaction called combustion, where the wax reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor. During this process, the candle's mass decreases as some of the wax is converted into gases. On the other hand, when a candle melts, it transitions from solid to liquid state, but its mass remains unchanged as no chemical reaction occurs.
Is the molecular mass of candle wax less than 100?
No, the range is about 282-562 molecular mass for candle wax.
What is the melting rate formula?
The formula to calculate the melting rate is MR = (Mf - Mi) / Δt, where MR is the melting rate, Mf is the final mass of the substance, Mi is the initial mass of the substance, and Δt is the time taken for the substance to melt.
What is the mass of a glass of soda overnight?
The mass of a glass of soda overnight would remain relatively constant if it is covered and no significant evaporation occurs. However, if left uncovered, some carbonation may escape, leading to a slight reduction in mass due to gas loss. Additionally, if ice is present, its melting could maintain the mass initially, but overall, the mass change would be minimal.
When a candel burns the total mass of the candle and the oxygen equals the total mass of the gases and produced what law is this?
This is an example of the law of conservation of mass. It states that the total mass of substances before a chemical reaction is the same as the total mass of substances after the reaction.
When a candle is allowad to burn in open air the mass of the candle decreashow can you explain this?
Wax evaporates as well as melting. Mass is therefore lost, as the wax turns into various gaseous molecules which escape from the solid body.

Does candle loose mass when melted down?
yes it does because the wick hardens
What is the meaning of white candle?
A white candle is a mass of wax that is the colour WHITE (typically cylindrical) with a thin thread of rope passing through it. when the thread is lit, it begins to burn down melting the wax simultaneously. A white candle is often used to illuminate rooms, set a mood or improve the scent of a room.
What is candle in mass?
150g
Does the wick effect how fast it burns?
"http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Does_the_wick_effect_how_fast_it_burns" To the best of my knowledge the speed of burning is a function of the size and volatility of the candle material. The wick serves only to keep the candle material melting, vaporizing and burning, it apparently burning at a higher temperature than the candle mass. See:http://www.howstuffworks.com/question267.htm
Why when you burn a candle the mass decreases?
Maybe a better question is whether a candle AND it's combustion products gets heavier or lighter. Since a candle uses the oxygen from the air, the total mass gets heavier than the original candle.
How does the law of conservation of mass to a burning candle?
The mass of the initial candle is identical with the sum of masses of released gases from burning and the residues remained.
How could you check that mass of the candle change during burning?
Put the candle on a technical balance.
Why the the mass of a candle does not disappear while burning?
Because of the law of conversation of mass
Explain why the mass of a candle does not disappear while burning?
Because of the law of conversation of mass
When a candle is burning does that violate the laws of conservation of mass and energy?
No. -- Mass leaves the candle in the form of hot gases and soot, and there's always some of it left in the puddle of melted wax under the candle. -- Oxygen combines with the hydrocarbons in the candle material and the fibers in the wick, releasing chemical energy that leaves the candle in the form of heat and light.
