because, when the wax is lit it burns off as a vapor, when the candle was extinguished the wax vapor was still in the air, and the wax acts as fuel for the flame of a candle, so the flame combusted and lit the vapor, leading back to the candle wick.
yes. the wax vapor will build to your lungs and you'll die.
Carbon Dioxide and water vapor
Nope.... wax paper is wax coated paper, Freezer paper is white butchers paper with a plastic coating. Much thicker.
The most prevalent products of a burning candle are carbon dioxide and water vapor. The flame heats the wax, causing it to vaporize and then burn. The reaction between the wax vapor and oxygen in the air produces carbon dioxide and water vapor, along with heat and light.
Yes, wax in a candle is one of the two substances that causes the candle to burn (oxygen is the other.) The reactants are therefore wax and oxygen, and the products are carbon dioxide and water vapor (and heat/light.)
Paraffin wax begins to melt at temperatures above 99 degrees Fahrenheit. It begins to boil and produce vapor at approximately 698 degrees Fahrenheit.
The vapor has a sexual reproduction of air to wicks and waxs.
The reaction of hydrocarbon (i.e. wax) with oxygen Hydrocarbon + oxygen --> water + carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide (gas) and water (vapor) from fat or wax (solid) and oxygen (gas, from air)
While the compounds released differ from candle to candle they all produce water vapor and carbon dioxide.
There are 2; the melting of the candles wax is physical but the wick burning is chemical.
