What is the hardest candle to blow out?
The trick candle will relight itself.
What substance was produced by the mint plant in Joseph priestlys experiment?
Oxygen was the substance produced by the mint plant. Joseph Priestley enclosed a mint plant in a container, along with a burning candle. After the flame consumed all the oxygen, it went out. Despite the fact that the mint plant was in a closed container, after another 27 days had passed, Priestley was able to reignite the candle. This proved that plants produce oxygen, which is a gas that allows fuels to burn.
What Book will help you find out which will burn faster a colored or white candle?
The Phone book, which will tell you what stores sell candles. Buy a white and a colored candle, and time their burning. Easy, cheap, boring experiment.
You burnt a yellow candle a blue candle a green candle a black candle a white candle and a red candle and the blue burnt the fastest why is that?
Working at a 100 year old Candle Company, ColonialCandle.com, I asked the candle making team of experts. When we have done this experiment using taper candles, the white candle should burn the fastest as there are no colorants to impede the capillary action of the wax through the wick. That is making sure that all things are equal in the candle make up such as wick, and wax. Unless of course , the white candle has an optical bleach in it to have the illusion of being more white. The optical bleach is a pigment and would cause the rate of consumption to be less. Only thing to add is a darker candle can sometimes burn faster because a dark color holds more heat and can cause the candle to burn slightly faster. But your point of all things being equal is the most important factor.
What is the function of a candle jar?
A candle jar is an item used to hold and display a candle. Candle jars are popular for outdoor use as the candle is less likely to be put out by wind. Candle jars come in a variety of colours and designs and can be purchased from webpage stores such as Amazon.
Who performed an experiment that showed that plants produce a gas that allows a candle to burn?
Joseph Priestly

What did Joseph Priestly contribute to the discovery of photosynthesis by using a candle?
he put the candle in a tube until it burnt out, then placed a mint sprig in the tube. 27 days later he lit the candle again using sunlight and it burnt perfectly leading him to believe that the mint replaced whatever was lost when the candle was burning.
How did priestly test oxygen to show it was different from air?
He put a piece of mint leaf in a covered container and lit a candle inside it. The candle burnt longer than it did when there was no plant in the container. He also tested this experiment with a rat.
Who is Joseph Morgan?
The inventor of the candle
Suppose Priestly repeated his experiment using many kinds of plants besides mint and that when different plants were placed under the jar the candle remained lighted for different periods of time W?
Different plants release different amounts of oxygen.
What is the objective of generating electricity from candle?
None, other than doing an interesting experiment.
Why does the candle relight when you put burning match near the smoke?
The smoke from the candle has vaporized wax, which is highly flammable vs carbon soot. When the flame touches the stream of vaporized wax (smoke) the heat is transferred back to the wick relighting it.
How do you find the rate at which a candle burns?
you experiment with different types of candles
What did Joseph Stalin do for fun?
sipped his coffee by candle light
Where did Joseph Priestly discover oxygen?
In 1772, Priestley made another important discovery. He had placed a shoot of a green plant into a container of water. He then covered the container and lit a candle in it until it completely burned out. Later, Priestley was able to both burn the candle again and keep mice alive in the air (did they have lab mice back then?). Priestley became the first person ever to observe the photosynthesis in plants - the fact that they take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
How does a candle powered hot air balloon work?
Yes, a candle can power up a hot air balloon. But you need a mini one to do the experiment. search hot air balloon experiment on Youtube for videos.
