the one with the thickest wick.
The flame from the candle melts the fuel (beeswax, tallow, cocoa butter, paraffin, or other hard waxy fat substance) which is then drawn up the candle wick and fed to the flame. The thicker the wick, the more fuel can be fed to the flame, making the flame bigger and hotter and using up the candle faster.

ReneThe length of time that a candle burns isn't dependent on the manufacturer of the candle, but on the diameter of the candle and the density of the wax. For example, a taper candle (tall and skinny) will burn more quickly than a pillar candle (more an an inch or two in diameter).
A solid wax candle, being more dense, will burn more slowly than a honeycomb candle which is a little bit of wax with lots of air cells in it.

What kind of chart would you use to graph how fast a candle burns?
A line chart would be appropriate for graphing how fast a candle burns over time. The x-axis could represent time intervals (e.g., seconds) and the y-axis could represent the height of the candle. By plotting the data points, you can visualize the rate at which the candle burns down.
Which burns faster a white candle or a colored candle?
Generally, colored candles burn at the same rate as white candles because the colorants added to the wax do not significantly affect the burning process. The burning rate can depend on factors like the wick size, quality of the wax, and ambient conditions.
What is the rate at which a candle burns in millimeters per minute?
The rate at which a candle burns can vary, but on average, a candle burns at a rate of about 10 millimeters per minute. This rate can change depending on factors such as the size of the candle, its composition, and environmental conditions.
What gas is formed when a candle burns?
C02
Which color candle burns the slowest?
The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax. Color is not the dominant factor in candle burning rates.
