- The_Chemical_History_of_a_Candle abstract "The Chemical History of a Candle was the title of a series of six lectures on the chemistry and physics of flames given by Michael Faraday at the Royal Institution. This was the origin of the Christmas lectures for young people that are still given there every year and bear his name.The lecture described the different zones of combustion in the candle flame, and the presence of carbon particles in the luminescent zone. Demonstrations included the production and examination of the properties of, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Carbon dioxide gases. An electrolysis cell is demonstrated, first in the electroplating of Platinum conductors by dissolved copper, then the production of Hydrogen and Oxygen gases, and their recombination to form water. The properties of water itself are studied, including its expansion while freezing (iron vessels are burst by this expansion), and the relative volume of steam produced when water is vaporized. Techniques for weighing gases on a balance are demonstrated. Atmospheric pressure is described and its effects demonstrated.Faraday emphasizes that several of the demonstrations and experiments performed in the lecture may be performed by the children "at home," and makes several comments regarding proper attention to safety.The lectures were first printed as a book in 1861.".
