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.
If the mass of an object decreases, the momentum of the object will also decrease, assuming the velocity remains constant. This is because momentum is directly proportional to mass; as mass decreases, momentum decreases.
Momentum = mass x velocity. Here velocity is constant. So momentum is directly proportional to the mass. Hence as mass decreases momentum too decreases proportionaly. If mass is reduced to half of its original then momentum also gets reduced to half of its original
When logs are burned, the mass remains the same but the volume decreases. This is because the burning process releases the stored energy in the logs in the form of heat and light, but the total amount of matter in the logs is conserved.
candles burn as much wax as the wick can bring to the flame. It is typically a constant amount of wax being burned. Smaller diameter candles have less wax and therefor run out of wax to burn sooner.
The candle has a solid wax body that becomes liquid when heated. It typically has a wick at its center that is used for lighting the candle. It emits light and heat when burning. The candle eventually melts and decreases in size as it burns.
wouldn't make a difference if they were the same shape,mass,and volume
A paffin wax candle is used to heat up a can of water. The candle had a mass of 15.75g before the burn and 14.20g after the burn. The can contained 250.0 of water at an initial temperature of 13.0 C. What is the heat of combustion in kJ/g of paraffin? The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/(g C)
Wax evaporates as well as melting. Mass is therefore lost, as the wax turns into various gaseous molecules which escape from the solid body.
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.

The color of a candle does not affect its burn time. The burn time of a candle is determined by its size, wax type, and wick quality.
No, the candle will not burn because the flame will consume the oxygen inside the bell jar, creating a vacuum and extinguishing the flame. Oxygen is necessary for combustion to occur, and without it, the candle cannot burn.
It depends on what kind of wax that the candle is made out of
Yes, a candle holder can affect the burn rate of a candle. A holder that fits the candle properly, shields it from drafts, and allows for proper airflow can help the candle burn more evenly and slowly. On the other hand, an improperly sized or ventilated holder may cause the candle to burn faster or unevenly.
the mass decreases as the wax burns so it displaces less water
No, yellow candle burn the fastest because of the heat reflecting off the surface of a candle and it helps yellow candle to melt faster
