What does it mean when you are burning a candle for someone and the wick has some kind of green residue on it while burning?
Green residue on the wick could indicate that the candle contains impurities or additives that are burning off. It could also be a sign of the candle burning unevenly, which may be caused by the wick being too long or the candle being exposed to drafts. It's best to trim the wick and avoid burning the candle in a drafty area to prevent this issue.
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.
