Candles

Candle wax is a solid at room temperature. When heated, it melts into a liquid form.

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.

CB in soy candles stands for "clean burn." This term refers to the natural and non-toxic burning process of soy candles, which produce less soot and pollutants compared to traditional paraffin wax candles. Soy wax is biodegradable and derived from soybeans, making it an eco-friendly option for candle making.

When a scented candle is lit, the heat from the flame causes the wax to melt and release the fragrance oils into the air, leading to a stronger smell. When the candle is unlit, the fragrance is contained within the wax and is not actively being dispersed into the air.

Lighting a candle can serve various purposes, such as creating a calming atmosphere, providing light during power outages, symbolizing remembrance or prayer, or as part of a religious or spiritual practice.

Infrared light. There is an electronic kit at the bottom of the glass with and LED light on it which gives the illumination of colors. It is activated by infrared light. Infrared light, along with visible light, is given off by flames and incandescent light bulbs.

Fun fact. Remote controls for TVs, DVD players etc work by sending infrared signals to the device. Try pointing a remote control into the candle and you should see it lights up! (putting the candle directly under a lightbulb should work too, but this isnt nearly as fun)

Candles are made of matter, typically wax and a wick. When burned, the matter in the candle is converted into heat, light, water vapor, and carbon dioxide.

The rate at which the candles burn is dependent on the density of the wax, not the color. Denser wax burns slower because the wax molecules are closely packed, so they do not get excited by the heat as easily.

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.

I can think of three ways whereby a candle could produce electricity:

1). Heat water with the flame. When the water boils, use the steam to spin

a turbine mounted to an electrical generator.

2). Place the flame close by a photovoltaic cell, which can convert a part of

the candle's heat and light to electrical energy.

3). Place a pinwheel behind the candle flame, attached to an electrical generator,

and wait for someone to come along and blow out the flame.

When used according to the manufacturer's instructions, Scentsy candles are designed to be safe and do not produce a flame. The wax is melted by a low-watt light bulb or heating element, eliminating the fire hazard associated with traditional candles. It is essential to follow all safety guidelines provided by the company to ensure safe use.

If oxygen's excluded, any. As fire needs oxygen to burn, if it lacks this, it won't burn.

The dark zone in the candle flame, also known as the zone of no combustion, is where vaporized wax is breaking down into hydrogen and carbon, but there is insufficient oxygen for complete combustion to occur. This area appears dark because there is no visible flame due to the lack of oxygen.

The shape of a candle can affect how fast it burns as it impacts the surface area exposed to heat. Candles with a larger surface area, like pillars or jar candles, tend to burn faster because they have more wax exposed to the flame. Taper candles, with a smaller surface area, burn slower as the wax melts more gradually.

blow it out! or if you want to do it the harder way then take the oxygen around it away from it by putting a jar over the top. oxygen is compulsory for a flame to burn. it is one of the components of the fire triangle. the other two being fuel and heat. if one of them is taken away then the fire is put out.

A candle goes out when there is not enough oxygen reaching the flame to sustain combustion. This can happen if the candle is in a closed environment or if the wick gets too short. Additionally, external factors like a breeze blowing out the flame can also cause a candle to go out.

To prevent sinkholes in candles, allow the candle to cool gradually to prevent shrinkage, use the correct type and amount of fragrance oil for the wax, and avoid over-stirring the wax when adding fragrance or dyes. Additionally, ensuring that the wick is centered and straight can help prevent sinkholes from forming.

Wood wick candles have a wick made of wood instead of cotton or other materials, which creates a crackling sound when burning. This can enhance the ambiance of the candle experience. Wood wicks also tend to produce a slightly larger flame and may require slightly different burning instructions compared to regular wick candles.

No, wax candles are not good conductors of electricity. Wax is an insulator, meaning it does not allow electricity to flow through it easily. Therefore, attempting to use a wax candle to conduct electricity would not be effective.

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!

Candles made from materials with lower melting points (such as paraffin wax) tend to melt faster than those made from materials with higher melting points (such as beeswax or soy wax). Additionally, factors like the candle's size, shape, and wick size can also influence the melting speed.

Yes, candle wax will melt when heated because it has a low melting point. The heat causes the solid wax to turn into a liquid form that can then be used to create a candle's flame.

White candles tend to burn at a slightly quicker rate than colored candles due to differences in the dye and other additives used in colored candles. These additional substances can affect the burning speed of the candle.

A lit candle has thermal energy (heat) due to the flame, light energy emitted by the flame, and chemical potential energy stored in the wax that is being converted to heat and light through combustion.
