Why does wax not freeze at the top of s candle?
Wax does not freeze at the top of a candle because the heat from the flame keeps the surrounding wax melted. The temperature of the melted wax remains above its freezing point due to the continuous heat generated by the burning wick. Additionally, as the wax melts, it circulates and maintains a consistent temperature throughout the candle, preventing it from solidifying at the surface.
What is the metal bit that holds the candle wax in place called?
A candlestick, chamberstick, or candelabrum.
What happens to the wax as the mass of the candle gets less?
Just like logs on a campfire or oil in an old-fashioned lamp, wax in a candle is actually fuel for the flame itself. The candle continues burning as long as there is wax to be melted & soaked into the wick. As it burns, the wax oxidizes into water vapor, CO2, and, of course, light. Wax continues to melt around the flame and soak up the wick to be used as fuel, causing the candle appear to "disappear" as we watch it burn.
Does candle loss mass when melting down?
No, a candle does not lose mass when melting down. The wax that is melted simply changes from a solid to a liquid state, but the total mass of the candle remains the same.
What sustains the flame of a candle?
The liquid wax. Once the candle melts the wax around the wick, it draws it up through the cloth wick in order to fuel the flame. Oxygen is also required for the candle to burn, but it is not the fires fuel source.
What can wax candle turn in to liquid or solid?
A wax candle can turn into a liquid when it is melted by heat. Once the melted wax cools down, it solidifies back into a solid state.
State of the wax after candle is lit?
Melted/Melting.
What is the liquid around the bottom of a wick on a candle?
The liquid around the bottom of a wick on a candle is melted wax. As the candle burns, the heat melts the wax, allowing it to be drawn up the wick and vaporized to fuel the flame.
What is made by a lit candle called?
The melted wax from a lit candle is typically referred to as "candle drippings."
What is candle wax whitener?
Candle wax whitener is a powder or liquid additive that can be mixed into melted wax to lighten its color. It helps to achieve a more opaque or vibrant hue for the candle when it solidifies.
How did they make candles?

Can burning a candle be reversible?
No, burning a candle is not reversible. When a candle is burned, the wax is melted and the wick is consumed, resulting in irreversible changes to the candle's structure.
What is candle wax made out of?
Candles are made up of different things. Wax candles are usually made of 1: wax 2: a wick 3: colours 4: scent, natural or chemically derived.
What do you observe in unlit candle qualitative?
In an unlit candle, the qualitative observations would be its solid wax structure, the presence of a wick, and the lack of a flame or melted wax.
What is the metal bit that holds the candle wax in place called?
A candlestick, chamberstick, or candelabrum.
Why does burning a match light a candle?
First the wick is lighted; after this the wax is melted, vaporized and burned.
