black. What is happening to each of the following (physical
change, chemical change, both, or neither) as the candle burns?
Explain.
a. the wax
b. the wick
c. the glass rod

(i mainly just need the whether or not it is a chemical or physical, or both, change or not.)

Answer 1

a. the wax is a both; 1. physical change-solid to liquid.
2. chemical change- burned to CO2 + H20 + heat + carbon as seen as black on the rod
b. the wick is neither; the wick does not change, just provides conduit for wax to flame
