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.
What else can I help you with?
Is the molecular mass of candle wax less than 100?
No, the range is about 282-562 molecular mass for candle wax.
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.
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.
What happens to mass and weight on mars?
Mass remains the same on Mars, as it is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. However, weight would be less on Mars compared to Earth due to its weaker gravitational pull. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
What happens when volume changes?
Yes under constant pressure, with a given mass, volume changes during the change of state. When steam condenses, its volume is reduced. But, when water changes into ice, its volume becomes more. This is known to be anomalous expansion of water. Where as in other cases, when the liquid form gets changed into solid form, the volume is reduced.
What happens to acceleration when mass is increased?
it gets decreased
What happens when the volume gets larger and the mass gets smaller?
When the volume increases and the mass decreases, the density of the object decreases. This means that the object becomes less compact or dense for the given volume. The relationship between volume and mass is important when considering the physical properties of an object.
What happens to a ball filled with air when brought to the moon?
It gets bigger due to gravity and mass,(which is much less on the moon) the ball would become larger.
Is the molecular mass of candle wax less than 100?
No, the range is about 282-562 molecular mass for candle wax.
What happens when there is less mass in a given volume air?
The air is less dense.
What is candle in mass?
150g
Does a colored candle have more or less density?
There is no way to know from the question. Aniline dye would probably make it more dense, but I have no doubt that there are means to color a candle that would make it less dense.
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.
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 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.
How could you check that mass of the candle change during burning?
Put the candle on a technical balance.
