    The wick used in a candle is an absorbent twine and must have strong capillary action. When the wick is lit, the wax around the wick will melt due to the heat of the flame. The capillary action of the wick will absorb the melted wax and pull it upwards. When the wax is exposed to the flame, it will vaporize and the wax vapor burns. The wick does not burn as quickly, because the vaporizing wax will help to cool the temperature of the wick and protect it.…

    In this lab, I calculated the heat of combustion of paraffin (candle wax) by burning a candle and holding a calorimeter (a soda can) filled with 98.7 mL of water above the flame. The heat released by the candle was absorbed by the water in the can. It was important to place the metal chimney around the candle so that minimal amounts of heat would escape; having too much heat lost to the atmosphere would cause extra error in the calculations. The assumption made was that all heat released from the candle was absorbed by the water, and that none of the heat was lost to the air or absorbed by the can. The small holes at the bottom of the chimney allowed some oxygen to reach the flame, since oxygen was required to fuel the reaction. During the…

    In this lab I observed the burning of a candle very closely. I found out that the candle needs oxygen to burn, that it produces carbon dioxide similar to the way that my body produces carbon dioxide, and that a candle produces water as a second waste product. I learned that if I hold an object in the flame it becomes covered with soot which is unburned carbon fuel. Finally, I learned that neither the solid wax, nor the melted wax, nor the wick burns when a candle is lit. In fact, the wax itself is burning as a vapor or gas.…
