Why does candle give flame when it is burnt but why does coal burn without emitting a flame? |
|
Answer» A candle is made of wax in which a thick thread is inserted. When it is lighted melts by a match stick. A little of the wax forms gas. This gas combines with oxygen in the air to form flame. But coal is a natural fuel contains more carbon. When it is burnt it sends out carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gases and becomes ember and does not emit a flame. Coal is the changed material of wood. Hence it does not emit a flame as it possesses a huge calorific value (heat). |
