When a fire is lit in a sealed container it is very likely to cause an explosion because of the build up of internal pressure from smoke.

well, if you put a burning object into a sealed place, the fire would go out because of the lack of oxygen. there would be no mass change because there is nothing to change it.

What is possible explanation as to why the candle went out?

The candle could go out if there is a strong draught of air, or if all the oxygen is used up by a candle burning in a sealed container.


Mass does not change during a chemical change how about for a physical change?

Physical changes are like cutting paper. The mass does not change. Chemical changes do not change total mass either. If you put a candle in a sealed container so that you may measure the total mass of the candle and the air before burning, then light the candle electrically but keep everything sealed, the total mass after burning will still be the same. But if you measure only the candle, then its mass has changed. So the mass of one single 'ingredient' will change during a chemical change.
