Why do white candles burn faster than colored ones?

White candles burn slightly faster due to coloring pigments found on colored candles.


Which color of water evaporates faster red blue green or yellow?

Pure water is evaporated faster.


What are some science projects that involve fire?

you could see what kind of wood burns faster or which color flame burns hotter or last longer( like not going out over a period of time)


What is the dependent variable of do colored candles or white candles burn faster?

All else being held constant - the dependent variable is the composition of the chemical(s) used to color the colored candles. Some additives will speed burning because they are themselves flammable. Some will slow burning because they are less flammable. Some will cause the melting point of the wax to be depressed so that the wax melts quicker - and as it melts and drains away, the candle will burn faster. A more critical factor in reality though is that colored candles are usually made with a different composition than white candles to make it easier to color them. Not only do they contain something to give them color - the composition of the wax the color is added to is different as well. Once you change the basic composition of the candle that much it is tough to compare the candles. It becomes like trying to compare burning oak to burning pine. Yeah - they are similar but you really are not burning the same thing and you don't expect them to burn at the same rate. By controlling the composition of the wax, you can make candles burn faster or slower - without respect to what color they are or if they have no color at all (assuming you don't call white a color).


Do lighter colored candles have more wax then darker colored one?

light coloured candles do burn faster than darker coloured candles for one main reason. The darker the candle, the more dye molecules are involved in the candle which are non-flammable. Therefore, the lighter the candle, the less dye molecules are involved minimising the risk of the dye molecules interfering with the combustion process.

No. you could time them.


Why do colered candles burn faster than white candles?

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.


Which burns faster a white candle or a colored candle?

Usually a colored candle. I think yellow burns the fastest of all. It has to do with the chemicals associated with the pigment of the color.


How would you do a science project on whether white candles burn faster than colored candles?

You take two identical candles (eccept for the color) and you light them at exactly the same time and time how long it takes them to burn out and the one that burns out quickest........well thats the one that burns out quickest. Brutally simple lad.


Does white candles burn faster than colored what are the materials?

Candles are all different and burn at different rates, but the color is not a factor. The amount of paraffin/beeswax, and the thickness of the wick primarily determine how fast a candle burns.


Do white candles burn faster than colored candles facts?

Actually, The Colored candles faster. The colored candles filled with variety color metter which absobe the more heat, of which keep the candles easily hot and burn.


Does the color of the candle affect the amount of time a candle will burn?

no, actually it depends on the wick of the candle. the color has nothing to do with it. A candle with a straight wick burns better and longer than a candle with a crooked wick. Also the wax has a lot to do with it. Wax is the most important ingredient that makes a candle burn faster. soft wax has a higher oil content and lower melt temperature; therefore, it burns faster. Candles in jars have a soft wax, and pillar candles have a hard wax. the longest burning candles are pillar candles made of a blend of beeswax and paraffin. To sum it up: color makes no difference at how fast a candle burns. black candles burn no faster than white candles. Wick size is the primary factor determining the candle burning rate. the bigger wick will deliver more fuel to the burning flame.


What is the results of white candles burn faster than color candles?

I haven't seen the results of the project.
