Candles

The products of the combustion of candle wax are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), along with some soot and trace amounts of other gases. The heat produced during combustion is a result of the chemical reaction between the wax and oxygen from the air.

When you hold a match over the wick, a small amount of wax melts then burns starting a cycle. The candle flame melts solid wax into a liquid, and the liquid is absorbed into the wick and burns. Candles are essentially a modernized lantern relying on solid fuel instead of oil.

To remove candle wax from walls, place a paper towel over the wax and gently run a warm iron over it. The heat will melt the wax, allowing it to be absorbed by the paper towel. Repeat if necessary until all wax is removed. Be cautious not to overheat the surface as it may damage the paint.

The smoke from the candle has vaporized wax, which is highly flammable vs carbon soot. When the flame touches the stream of vaporized wax (smoke) the heat is transferred back to the wick relighting it.

No, frozen candles will burn slower than room temperature candles because the cold temperature slows down the rate of combustion. The wax in frozen candles will take longer to melt and be consumed, resulting in a longer burning time compared to room temperature candles.

You can try using the iron on brown paper bag method. You simply put a single layer of brown paper over the stain and iron it using a low heat. The heat melts the wax and the paper absorbs it. Change the paper as it becomes saturated with the wax. It takes some time and patience but I used it successfully on a large candle spill. Make sure to chip away as much of the wax as possible before you start and be careful not to burn your rug. You might want to test a hidden spot before you go to work on the stain. Good luck.

the one with the thickest wick.

The flame from the candle melts the fuel (beeswax, tallow, cocoa butter, paraffin, or other hard waxy fat substance) which is then drawn up the candle wick and fed to the flame. The thicker the wick, the more fuel can be fed to the flame, making the flame bigger and hotter and using up the candle faster.

To remove candle wax from wallpaper, first place a clean paper towel or cloth over the wax. Then, gently iron over the towel on a low heat setting, allowing the wax to melt and be absorbed by the towel. Finally, use a mild detergent solution to remove any residue left behind.

This falls under a dangerous category. One that should not be answered here to avoid injuries. Contact a fireworks factory and they may tell you.

As a number of 'science experiments' have caused permanent and serious injury to those who started out just playing MOST countries ban the making of fireworks except by those people who make a living in making new and exciting pyrotechnics.

For safety reasons even making a wick for fireworks involves using materials that cause injury to the just playing.

A liquid candle is made of a liquid fuel, such as paraffin oil or liquid paraffin wax, that is stored inside a container with a wick to facilitate burning. When the wick is lit, the liquid fuel vaporizes and burns, creating a flame. Liquid candles are popular for decorative and ambiance purposes due to their clean burn and long-lasting nature.

To remove candle wax residue from a stone mantel, you can first gently scrape off as much wax as possible using a plastic scraper or your fingernail. Then, apply a warm iron over a paper towel or cotton cloth placed on the residue to melt and absorb the remaining wax. Finally, clean the area with a solution of warm water and mild soap, then dry with a clean cloth.

Scented gel air fresheners typically last around 2-4 weeks, depending on factors such as the size of the room, ventilation, and the strength of the fragrance. After this time, the fragrance may diminish and the gel may dry out, requiring replacement.

This is not a simple answer additives in the wax, length of the wick, the width of the wick, or even the wick type, whether the wax is free standing or in an container, or even if the candle has been over dipped. All of these factors make it practicably impossible to answer your question correctly.

Gel Wax has a higher melt point about 180°F to 230°F

Bee's wax has a longer burn rate then when compared to paraffin and melts around 144 to 147 °F

paraffin melts around 117°F to 147°F

For Paraffin candles: mostly paraffin - which is a mixture of hydrocarbons ranging from about 20 to 40 carbons per molecule.

For tallow candles: mostly fatty acids including Oleic acid (C18-1, ω-9), Palmitic acid (C16:0), and Stearic acid (C18:0).

This sounds stupid but it works. Freeze the clothing and the wax is very easy to scrape off with a sharp knife, if scraping becomes difficult, refreeze the cloth.

That is how to get the wax off . If it leaves a grease stain behind , use brown paper , like grocery bags, put a sigle piece top and under the stain , go over with a warm iron [ don't scorch the paper ] and it will absorb the parafin or beeswax or tallow left in the fabric. Do this til the paper is absorbing no more candle grease .

The length of time that a candle burns isn't dependent on the manufacturer of the candle, but on the diameter of the candle and the density of the wax. For example, a taper candle (tall and skinny) will burn more quickly than a pillar candle (more an an inch or two in diameter).

A solid wax candle, being more dense, will burn more slowly than a honeycomb candle which is a little bit of wax with lots of air cells in it.

Fire dies out because a constant supply oxygen is needed to keep a fire burning. When then oxygen is removed, the fire burns the remaining oxygen until it is all gone.

Normally when fire has a good supply of oxygen it give of Carbon dioxide. However without enough oxygen it gives Carbon monoxide as the oxygen is used up. When there is virtually no oxygen left, the fire goes out.

When a candle is lit, the heat from the flame melts the wax near the wick, turning it into liquid. This liquid wax is drawn up the wick by capillary action, where it vaporizes and burns in the flame. The heat and light produced by the burning wax sustains the flame until the wax is consumed.

Those are called candle drip trays or candle holders. They are designed to catch any dripping wax from the candle to prevent it from spilling onto surfaces.

When you light a candle over a cold beaker, the heat from the flame warms up the air around it. The warm air rises and surrounds the beaker, eventually heating it up. This process is known as convection.

Burning a candle is a chemical change, as it involves a chemical reaction where the wax and oxygen combine to produce carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy in the form of heat and light. This change is irreversible and creates new substances.

Some substances produced by a burning candle include carbon dioxide, water vapor, and soot (carbon particles). Additionally, there may be traces of other byproducts such as carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds.

A candle is typically made of wax (such as paraffin, beeswax, or soy wax), a wick made of cotton or another material, and sometimes fragrance or color additives. When the wick is lit, the heat melts the wax, which is then drawn up the wick and burned to produce light.

I always had a problem with the melted wax sticking to my candle holders and ended up either scratching or breaking them trying to get the wax off. I was looking on ebay and found a product that makes the wax not stick at all. It's called Candle Care. It is a 6oz. bottle. It lasts a long time and it works great!
