Why is wax harder to ignite than methane?

Wax is harder to ignite than methane because wax is a solid fuel with higher molecular weight and more complex chemical structure compared to methane, which is a lighter and simpler gas fuel. Wax requires more energy to break down its chemical bonds and reach the ignition temperature. Methane, being a gas, disperses more quickly and has a lower ignition temperature, making it easier to ignite.


What gas in the air burns when candle wax melts?

The candle wax melting exposes the wick, where the actual burning takes place. Oxygen in the air combines with the vaporized wax in the wick, generating heat and giving off carbon dioxide (also traces gases and often carbon soot). (see related link)

What is the difference between ignition temperature and spontaneous ignition temperature in a fuel cell?

The minimum temperature the fuel ignites self sustained combustion is known as spontaneous ignition temperature. The temperature at which the substance is preheated and burns smoothly is known as ignition temperature.

What will happen if the ignition temperature is lower than the room temperature?

If the ignition temperature is lower than the room temperature, the substance will not ignite or burn spontaneously at room temperature. Ignition temperature refers to the minimum temperature required for a substance to ignite and sustain combustion, so if it is lower than the room temperature, the substance will remain stable at that temperature.
