Question

The energy store in a candle is the chemical energy in
the wax. The chemical energy is released when the
candle is burned. Not all types of wax used in candles
are the same.
Alina has two candles made from different types of wax,
Alina wants to find out which of the two types of wax
stores more energy.
She knows that she can burn the candles and use heat
from the flame to heat water.
Plan an investigation using this method to find out which of the two types of wax stores
more energy
Remember to make it a fair test in every way possible.

Answer 1

Answer:

The heat from the wick melts the wax which gets absorbed in the wick and then gets burnt (which is really oxidation) to produce heat energy as well as light energy. The energy transforms from chemical energy to heat and light energy. Because when the candle burns a chemical reaction occurs and produces heat and light.
