Name the product formed when a candle burns in oxygen.

Solution

Dear Student,

The fuel for candle is wax, which is the mixture of hydrocarbons.
It burns in oxygen to form CO₂ (carbon dioxide) and water vapours.

(CH)_n + 5nO₂ ------> nCO₂ + n/2H₂O

Also, unburnt carbon is formed as soot in the flame.

Regards
