the easy answer is yes. Solid and liquid forms you can clearly see. Since the boiling point of most waxes is under 1000 degrees C and the temp of most candle flames is well over 1000, it is vaporized (boiled). There are experiments on the web that prove that it is the vapor that is burning, not the liquid wax absorbed up the wick.
What else can I help you with?
What kinds of energy are needed in this investigation to change the state of matter of the candle?
The energy needed to change the state of matter of a candle is primarily in the form of heat energy. When the candle is lit, the heat energy from the flame melts the candle wax, causing it to change from a solid to a liquid state. Further heating vaporizes the liquid wax, transforming it into gaseous wax molecules that combine with oxygen to produce light and heat energy.
Why does wax shrink over time?
Wax can shrink over time due to evaporation of its volatile components, such as solvents or oils. As these components evaporate, the wax loses volume and contracts, causing it to shrink. Additionally, changes in temperature can also contribute to wax shrinkage as the material expands and contracts with fluctuations in heat.
What happens to the matter of a burning candle?
When a candle burns, the wax in the candle is melted and vaporized by the heat of the flame. The carbon in the wax combines with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water vapor, releasing heat and light energy in the process.
What is the difference between transparent and translucend matter?
Transparent matter allows light to pass through completely and objects can be seen clearly on the other side (glass, air). Translucent matter allows light to pass through but scatters it, making objects appear blurry or unclear (frosted glass, wax paper).
How would you separate the some grains of rice stuck into a ball of wax?
To separate the rice grains from the ball of wax, you can freeze the wax to make it brittle. Once the wax is frozen, you can break it apart easily and pick out the rice grains. Alternatively, you can heat the wax to melt it, allowing the rice grains to be easily separated from the liquid wax.
What state of matter is a candle?
Solid, Liquid, and Gas. Solid is the actual candle, liquid is the wax, and anytime u have a liquid you also have a small amount of evaportion depending on the temp.
What phases of matter are present in unlighted candles?
In unlighted candles, all phases of matter are present. The wick and outer wax are solid, the inner wax is liquid, and there may be some vaporized wax in the air above the candle.
Name the different states of matter in which burning candle wax can resist?
Burning candle wax is in the liquid state as it melts, then transitions to a gaseous state as it vaporizes and combusts to produce a flame.
How can a candle chance from solid to a liquid and then change back to a soild?
Well this is very simple. When you light a candle, the wax heats up and melts. As the liquid wax drips down the side of a candle, it gets further away from the heat, cools downs, and becomes solid again. Wax is very quick at changing through states (I'm not sure about "gas wax") so it can do all of this in a matter of seconds. Hopefully this helped
How do you determine of total fatty matter in soap using bee wax or wax cake method?
The total fatty matter in soap can be determined in a few different ways. The soap can be reacted with either bee wax or a wax cake to determine the fat percentage.
What is the material in a white candle?
all candles aremade of wax, do it dosent matter waht colour it is it is amde of wax, or sometimes bees wax
Is a melting wax a physical or chemical property?
Melting wax is a physical property because it does not change the chemical composition of the wax when it transitions from solid to liquid state. The process just involves a physical change in the state of matter.
At what temperature does a wax seal for a toilet melt?
Depends on the origin of the wax. The melting points of BEE'S wax is 45C. However, other waxes exist such as carnauba (a vegetable wax, 78-85C) and paraffin (a mineral wax, 47-65C). To be safe you should assume that the wax is going to melt with temperatures exceeding
Do all pregnant mares wax?
No...not all mares wax before foaling.
What are the phases of the warming up?
Wax, like all matter, comes in many phases. What are the three possible phases? gas. liquid, and solid
Is wax solidifying a physical or chemical change?
Yes becasue when the atoms inside the wax start to change, they all form and become a solid. this is what is now called replacement.
Does the color of wax on a candle matter how fast it burns?
Maybe Maybe NOT
