Queso Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Ok so Candles...wax, and a wick.Where does the wax go?Does it evaporate? Quote
HydrogenBond Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 If the candle is not lit it will evaporate only slowly at the best. If it is lit is will become products of incomplete combustion, i.e., yellow flame and black smoke. Blue flamed smokeless candles would go to CO2 and H2O. Quote
Jay-qu Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 the wax is a hydrocarbon - it is the fuel of the flame, and like H-bond said will come out as CO2 and H2O Quote
Racoon Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 Candles aren't just a bunch of wick and wax.They are Light when things are Dark. They are burnable,and such is thought. :hyper: lovin' Orby so much evermore. :hyper: Quote
