What are the chemical changes in burning of a candle?
Answer:
Don't know how to type symbolic coding's so here goes the long winded way;
First there would be an addition/transformation of carbon within the wick.
Second the oxygenation of the static wax solid would increase after its subjection to the combustive affect.
Third the amount of carbon dioxide released to how much was potentially remaining in the wax that was left would be a factor.
the chemical change of burning a candle is the string because when it burn you cannot bring it back
wax + oxygen--->carbon dioxide + Carbon monoxide + Soot +water+ heat ( Light )
C25H52 + O2 ---> CO2 + CO + C+ H2O + heat ( Light )
equation not balanced...
And I want world peace...
The chemical changes when a candle burns are:
Wax, which is commonly a lipid, and the wick, which is made of cellulose, undergo a combustion reaction, producing chiefly carbon dioxide and water.
