Best Answer

Presuming a good seal on the jar and a perfectly clean jar, smoke will eventually separate into its gaseous part and the particle mass (PM) part which will collect on the surface of the jar and lid. The PM is generally between 2.5 and 10 microns in diameter. The gaseous portion consists of oxides of nitrogen (NOX), volatile organic compounds (VOC), carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, in varying proportions depending on what was burned, at what temperature, and in what atmosphere. The gasses will mix with whatever air is in the jar. If the jar permits UV light to enter and you put it in the sun on a warm day, the VOC and NOX will combine to make ozone (O3), the ozone will break down other VOCs (if any remain) into CO2, O2 and carbon.
