What candle burns out first an oil candle or a wax candle?

Generally more energy is in a solid versus a liquid, so a wax candle will have more energy than an oil based candle which means the solid wax candle will burn out last over the oil one. Actually, I can't think of a case where the reverse is true. And btw, wax candle has around 42 kJ/g with oil candle being around ~30 kJ/g (type of oil will make a difference here). tho' i agree with most of the above, the most important part of any candle is the oil/oil byproduct/animal fat or beeswax that it is made from! a wax candle will NOT burn until it heats up enough to dissolve into an oil - which occurs between 140-160 degrees! therefore, an oil candle and a wax candle burn out at the same time!


What color candles burn faster?

It always depends on the size and shape of the candle. The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax. Color is not the predominant factor.Other observations* It's not the color of the candle, but the wick. If the wick is cheap the candle won't burn correctly or will burn out shortly after you light it. If the wick is of good quality, it will burn down the center of the candle without once going out.* Candles that are plain (white) may burn faster because they don't contain as many chemicals in the wax.* There is a good reason why one candle burns faster than another... because it takes less time to vaporize the wax.* The color would only make a difference in that respect if a significant amount of the heat (imparted on the wax) came from the flame's infrared radiation. Because the wax is used up by being heated by the flame (and eventually being melted, vaporized, and then combusted), the composition of the wax and wick will have more consequence than how much light energy the wax absorbs or reflects.

Does the thickness of a candle affect the burn time of a candle?

Yes, the thickness of a candle can affect its burn time. Thicker candles tend to burn for a longer time compared to thinner candles due to the larger amount of wax they contain. Thinner candles typically burn faster because they have less wax to consume.


Will a candle burn longer in a large jar then a small jar?

Yes, a candle in a large jar will typically burn longer than a candle in a small jar. This is because the larger jar provides more oxygen for the flame, which helps the candle burn more efficiently. Additionally, the larger jar can contain more wax, extending the burn time.
