What happens when a copper wire is placed over a burning candle?

The candle's flame appears to go out, but the candle is still burning. In reality, the coil of copper wire is conducting heat away from the candle flame. If you remove the coil of wire, the flame reappears.
Hope this helps!

----------------------------
I haven't tried it, but copper is a very good heat conductor. It is quite possible that the copper would suck the heat out of the flame, and it would go out.
If it was merely a lack of oxygen, then copper and steel would be the same. If it has to do with heat conductivity, then copper would put the flame out better than steel.

What happens if magnet is placed next to copper?
Nothing - copper is not magnetic.
When an iron nail is placed into a solution of copper sulfate what happens?
The iron which is a more electrochemically active metal gets plated with copper and iron sulfate is formed
What happens to the atoms in the metal when a piece of copper is pulled into a wire?
The atoms slide over each other and thefore are placed in a new structure.
What happens when you put copper in salt water?
When copper is placed in salt water, a chemical reaction causes the copper to turn a blue-green color: this is called copper chloride. If you leave copper in salt water long enough beside the change of color, you should also see a blue-green film or powder appear. This is normal.
Why does the color of copper sulphate change when an iron nail dipped in it?
When an iron nail is placed in a copper sulphate solution, iron displaces copper from copper sulphate solution forming iron sulphate, which is green in colour.Therefore, the blue colour of copper sulphate solution fades and green colour appears.
What will happen if a candle is placed in a basin of water covered with a cup?
If burning, the candle will use up all the oxygen and go out.
If a plant and a burning candle are placed under a bell jar will the candle burn?
no it will not it needs carbon dioxide to burn, without it theres no way the candle will be able to burn
What happens if magnet is placed next to copper?
Nothing - copper is not magnetic.
Why does a lit candle go out when a inverted beaker is on it?
When the inverted beaker is placed over the candle, It cuts off the oxygen supply. All flames need oxygen to continue burning.
Why does a candle go out when dry ice is placed near it?
Gaseous carbon dioxide is released and this gas doesn't support burning.
What happens to a piece of copper placed in magnesium chloride solution?
Any reaction occur.
What happens when iron nail are placed in copper sulphate solutions with word equation?
If iron nails are placed in a copper sulphate solution they turn green and rusted which means they become copper plated nails.I think the word equation is :iron + copper sulphate - copper + Iron sulphate.Iron displaces copper
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.
When an iron nail is placed into a solution of copper sulfate what happens?
The iron which is a more electrochemically active metal gets plated with copper and iron sulfate is formed
What happens when iron nail are placed in copper sulphate solution?
the solution turns green and the nails develop a brown deposit which is copper. the iron displaces the copper in the copper sulphate solution. This is because iron is more reactive than copper.
Would a large plant and a burning candle placed under a bell jar will the candle burn the plant because of the plant is giving off carbon dioxide?
The candle will burn BUT it is because the plant is giving off OXYGEN and is TAKING IN carbon dioxide.
What happens zinc granules are placed in copper sulphate solution?
zinc granules will have their colour changed to brownish black in colour.
