In this lab, we tested different experiments on a candle flame in order to better understand properties, combustion, and states of matter. We recorded many observations that could help us reach a conclusion using what we saw happen. When we observed the regular candle flame, we concluded that the heat of the flame vaporizes the liquid wax. Then, we blew this candle out and took a different lit candle into the smoke trail from the burnt out candle. The wax vapor in the smoke is combustible,…
