A candle is a heterogeneous mixture of paraffin wax and other additives like colorants and scents. The wax solidifies as the candle cools, trapping the additives in the solid matrix to create the candle.
No, candle wax is not homogeneous. It is a mixture of different hydrocarbons and chemicals that have varying properties and compositions.
Wax is a generally considered as a homogenous mixture of several different longer-chain alkanes, esters and other compounds.
No it is not a colloid. Colloid is a kind of solution in which the size of solute particles is intermediate between those in true solutions and those in suspension.
Candle wax is a physical property since it is a characteristic of the substance itself. Physical properties describe the appearance, composition, and behavior of a material without changing its chemical composition.
it's a mixture of compoundsMaybe a mixture, but it can be pure (made out of one substance). Defenitely NOT an element.E.g. Beeswax is a mixture but spermacetiwax is (almost) pure:Spermaceti consists principally of cetyl palmitate (the ester of cetyl alcohol and palmitic acid), C15H31COO-C16H33.
Candle wax is a hydrogenated oil compound
Yes, paraffin wax is considered a pure substance because it is a homogeneous material made up of long hydrocarbon chains with similar properties throughout.
Depending on what type of wax the Candle provider used, a Candle is a mixture of wax, dye blocks used to color the candle and a fragrance oil that's safely used to scent candles with.

Wax is a generally considered as a homogenous mixture of several different longer-chain alkanes, esters and other compounds.
A candle is typically a mixture of paraffin wax, stearic acid, and other additives like fragrance and colorants. These ingredients are combined and poured into a container with a wick to create the finished candle product.
No it is not a colloid. Colloid is a kind of solution in which the size of solute particles is intermediate between those in true solutions and those in suspension.
Water and candle wax would not form a solution because they do not mix at a molecular level. Instead, they would form a mixture, where the candle wax would remain separate as droplets or particles within the water.
Yes, because it is made out of many materials.
