Burning a candle is a chemical reaction. This chemical change is irreversible:

So you'll never get a candle back by puting carbon dioxide and water together and put some light and heat (flame energy) back into it. You can't reverse 'the movie'

The easiest way to tell if something is a chemical reaction is if heat or light are given of, a new substance is formed, or a colour change happens.

How does the thickness of a wick affect the burning rate of a candle?

A thicker wick will generally burn faster because it can draw up more wax to fuel the flame. This can result in a larger, brighter flame. A thinner wick will burn slower as it draws up less wax, resulting in a smaller, dimmer flame.


Is the wick part of the chemical reaction in a candle?

The composition depends on the type of wick you choose to use in your candle. There are several different types to choose from.Pre-tabbed votive wicks are easy to insert and are great for beginners.Braided wicks are great for pillar or taper style candles. They come in different sizes, depending on the type of project you are working on.
