If you put an enclosed container over a candle, after a few minutes or seconds, the flame will go out. This is because when the candle burns, it releases carbon. The air around the candle contains oxygen. The carbon and oxygen combine forming carbon dioxide. When there is no more oxygen to combine with, the flame goes out.
