A candle is a solid block of wax with an embedded wick‚ which is lit to provide light‚ and sometimes heat‚ and historically as a method of keeping time. A candle manufacturer is traditionally known as a chandler.[1] Various devices have been invented to hold candles‚ from simple tabletop candle holders‚ to elaborate chandeliers.[2] For a candle to burn‚ a heat source‚ commonly a naked flame is used to light the candles wick which melts and vaporizes a small amount of fuel‚ the wax. Once vaporized

Introduction 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
