Day 07 - Dipped Candle Prototype

Now that we have completed the poured candle experiments, we are ready to explore dipping techniques, which create taper candles. We will compare the performance of soy wax against paraffin wax. In your EDP report, you will be required to analyze how the properties of these waxes affect the way they form poured candles and taper candles and explain why those differences exist.

Combustion

any exothermic reaction in which oxygen combines with a fuel

Covalent Bonds

bonds formed when two atoms share at least one electron; these are the strongest molecular bonds and thus represent the most potential chemical energy
