bunsen burner and candle wax

[dsanchez08]

What substance is "burning" (the fuel) and what substance supporting the burning of candle wax? Compare that to the flame of the Bunsen burner.

wic = the gas (the fuel)

wax = bunsen burner (controler i.e. supports the burning)

Ummm... the fuel that's being consumed during the candle burning is gas given off by the wax in which the wick is held. The wick absorbs the liquid wax melted by the flame, transmits it by capillary action up the wick, turns to a gaseous state in the heat, which feeds the flame to melt more wax, etc. The wax used is generally Paraffin which is a hydrocarbon made from crude oil. Beeswax candles are superior for light (and smell).
The flame from the Bunsen is just natural or compressed gas burning in and of itself. Adjusting it's control valve simply allows more or less pressurized gas to be ignited at the point end of the barrell...
