Question

Which substances are produced during the burning of a candle?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The heat of the flame vaporizes the liquid wax (turns it into a hot gas), and starts to break down the hydrocarbons into molecules of hydrogen and carbon. These vaporized molecules are drawn up into the flame, where they react with oxygen from the air to create heat, light, water vapor (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Answer 2

Answer:

When a candle burns, the reactants are fuel (the candlewick and wax) and oxygen (in the air).
