carbon dioxide :p
When a candle burns, it produces gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and carbon monoxide. These gases are released into the air as by-products of the combustion process.
The heat from a candle is stored in the chemical bonds of the oxygen and the candle wax. When you use a match to light the candle, you are activating the chemical reaction between the oxygen and the wax, which releases the energy stored in the bonds of the wax and oxygen. The products of the reaction, carbon dixode and water, require less energy for their bonds. So, all the extra energy that was stored in the wax and the oxygen is released to the air around the candle (the extra air that's not being used to react with the wax). Remember, if you put a jar over a candle, it will go out because it runs out of oxygen to react with.
this stupid website is so awful it will not answer anything I want it to answer. All I wanted to know was what elements are in the air in the candle and in the air when the candle burns? and they did not have it I thought it said that they would give u all the answers u need but I am not going on this website ever ever again
The word equation for a candle burning in the air is: Wax + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light + Heat.
When a candle is lit, the wax (hydrocarbons) in the candle reacts with oxygen in the air through combustion to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor. This chemical reaction releases heat and light energy, making the candle burn.

You can smell a burning scented candle across the room due to the molecules released from the candle vaporizing and dispersing through the air. These molecules enter your nose and stimulate your olfactory senses, allowing you to detect the scent even from a distance.
yes.you need more air,as the candle will burn for longer in a bigger volume of air because the air contains oxygen which is needed for combustion
Naturally, it is Carbon Dioxide because it is denser than oxygen which is a gas needed for combustion.
Candle wax evaporates when the candle is burning because the heat from the flame causes the wax to melt and turn into a gas, which then evaporates into the air.
When a candle burns, the wax is drawn up the wick and vaporized into carbon dioxide and water vapor, releasing heat and light. The wax is essentially converted into these gases and released into the air.
The air near the lit candle rises because it expands and gets lighter in density whereas the air around is colder and more dense that sinks thus makes a convection current.
Air contains about 21% oxygen, so the candle in air might only burn 21% as long as a candle in oxygen. Of course, that does not include other variables, like the candle burning in oxygen will burn hotter, melting the candle wax sooner.

There is a candle at the bottom of the lantern. the candle will then be lighted and hot air rises, which makes the lantern fly. its the same logic as a hot air balloon
