Answer:

Mass of the melted wax

Explanation:

The mass of the original candle that has been burnt in the closed system is equal to the mass of the melted wax.

  • A closed system is a system where matter cannot be exchange with the surrounding.
  • As the candle undergoes a phase change during the burning, it melts to liquid wax.
  • Since there is no loss of mass, the amount of matter in the system is conserved.
  • Therefore, the mass of the molten wax will be the same as the mass of the candle originally melted.
