Why would the time to put a candle flame out vary on the size of beaker put over the candle?
Because a larger beaker has more air init than a smaller one, so the candle has more oxygen to feed the flame.
A candle is covered with a flask and the flame goes out why?
When the candle flame is covered with a flask, it creates a closed system where the oxygen supply is limited. The flame requires oxygen to sustain combustion, so when the available oxygen is used up, the flame goes out. The process is known as oxygen depletion, and it happens when the flammable material (wax) fails to receive sufficient oxygen to continue burning.
Why does a candle extinguish itself after being covered with a glass?
The burning flame on a candle needs three things to continue burning: 1) fuel, which it gets from the wick 2) heat, which comes from lighting the candle 3) oxygen Without any one or more of these three things, the candle will no longer continue to burn. In the case where a candle is covered with a glass, the candle quickly uses up the oxygen inside the glass. once all of the oxygen is gone, the flame will burn out.
What of these items should be used to remove a hot beaker from a flame?
beaker tongs :)
When you put a cold object into flame of candle the object will get covered with soot physical or chemical?
Getting covered with soot would be classified as a physical change rather than a chemical change.

What happens to a burning candle if it has no oxygen?
If a candle has no oxygen, its flame goes out.
When you light a candle in a closed beaker why does the flame go out?
Oxygen is needed for burning.When a candle is kept in a closed beaker a certain quantity of air(containing oxygen, other gases too) is trapped. When it is burnt then candle starts using all the oxygen to convert into carbon dioxide and flame goes off.
The candle under the beaker gave out after about thirty seconds How would you expect this to be different in different sizes of beakers?
The higher the volume, the more the flame will last.
What happens to the hydrogen when a candle burns?
The hydrogen within the paraffin of a candle (the wax) severs its bonds with the carbon (the other element in the paraffin) because the energy the heat produces is enough to do so. The hydrogen then bonds with the oxygen atoms around it, and forms H2O. You can test this by covering a lit candle with a clear beaker. You will observe that water condenses around the flame.
Is candle flame a source of light?
The flame of a candle is a source of light.

Why is a candle flame seen?
A candle flame is seen because it consists of glowing gases.
How are an animal and a candle flame alike?
well both an animal and a flame candle need oxygen to survive

If a beaker full of vinegar and baking soda is tilted over a lit candle with out spilling any liquid solution out then why does the flame go out?
When vinegar and baking soda mix, they react to form an gas called carbon dioxide (CO2) which is heavier than air. The flame needs oxygen (O2) to burn. When the beaker is tilted, it spills the heavy carbon dioxide gas over the flame and suffocates it.
