It goes away. You know this because fire needs oxegen to keep burning and that's why the flame goes out.

Where does it go to? How did it get out of the jar? Are you sure the oxygen is not now part of the H2O that is now in the jar?

A gas jar is used in microbiology. A flame is lit in the airtight jar which starts using up the oxygen in the jar and producing carbon dioxide.

It can also make fire...

YES!!!! Taking Sodium and Chlorine as an example. Sodium metal is an element. Chlorine gas is an element. Put them together in a gas jar and they will react to form the compound sodium chloride.
