Question

what is soot of candle

Answer 1

Answer:

Soot from a candle is caused when there is incomplete combustion of the fuel. Incomplete combustion can be caused by a number of different factors. Two of these factors are the balance between the wax and wick in the candle and disturbing the candle flame. The fuel to the candle flame is the liquid wax which is being drawn up through the wick. Once the flame of the candle has started drawing the liquid candle wax up the wick, it does so at a steady rate. When the flame of the candle is disturbed the size of the flame changes and the amount of fuel being used is no longer consistent. If there is too much fuel for the flame to use it is put off in the form of soot.
