Can you use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of a candle flame?

No, a clinical thermometer is not suitable for measuring the temperature of a candle flame. Candle flames burn at temperatures much higher than the range typically measured by a clinical thermometer. To measure the temperature of a candle flame, a specialized high-temperature thermometer or pyrometer would be more appropriate.

Why are there several colours in a candle flame?

The color in the candle flame shows the fuel used. It also shows temperature. The colder part of the flame is red and the closer the color is to white is the hottest. The blue color comes from the soot of the wick.


Why does a candle burn with a yellow flame?

Candle burns with a yellow flame because its an incomplete combustion. The temperature of the flame also relates to its colour and also the trace metal ions present will influence the flame colour.


What does the color of a candle flame indicate?

The color of a candle flame can indicate the temperature at which it is burning. A blue flame typically indicates a hotter, more complete combustion, while a yellow or orange flame suggests incomplete combustion and may be due to impurities in the fuel source.


What is the average temperature of the flame of the candle?

Depending on the wax, and the concentrations of water of oxygen in the air, somewhere between 1,200 degrees and 1,700 degrees Celsius. The heat capacity and conductivity of air and the exhaust products of combustion, however, are both very low. In practice, candle flames do not seem very hot (much like metal feels colder than wood at room temperature, though they are the same temperature). The outer core of the candle flame is light blue -- 1670 K (1400 °C). That is the hottest part of the flame. The color inside the flame becomes yellow, orange and finally red. The further you reach to the center of the flame, the lower the temperature will be. The red portion is around 1070 K (800 °C). The reason there is this variation in a candle's flame color is because air convection pulls the warmer gasses upwards.


What are the different colors that a candle flame can exhibit?

A candle flame can exhibit various colors such as yellow, orange, and blue, depending on the temperature and the materials burning.


Why can you not use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of a candle flame?

We cannot use a clinical thermometer to measure temperature of a candle flame because then the mercury will expand too much and the thermometer will explode.


Does the temperature of a candle jar inhibit growth of psychrotrophs What is the average temperature inside candle jar and how long does it take flame to burn out?

The temperature of a candle jar inhibits the growth of psychrotrophs, and the average temperature inside the candle jar is 30 degrees Fahrenheit.


What is the weakest flame?

The weakest flame is typically a low-temperature flame, such as a candle flame or a match flame. These flames produce less heat and energy compared to higher temperature flames like those of a blowtorch.


What is the burning temperature of candle?

The burning temperature of a candle flame is typically between 1400-1600 degrees Fahrenheit (760-870 degrees Celsius). The temperature varies depending on the type of wax and additives in the candle.
