The flame will go out, because carbon dioxide removes the oxygen from the area surrounding the flame. Fire requires oxygen to burn, much like humans need oxygen to breath, and similar to carbon dioxide does to humans, the flame will lose its oxygen and go out.

I would think the flame would sway away from the flow of CO2 in order to maintain its necessary "burn food", oxygen.

Yes because when you burn O2 it will produce carbon dioxide. Hope this helps, I am 100% sure that it is the correct answer.

The CO2 gas that is poured out will displace the oxygen around the candle. Since the flame needs the oxygen (which is now replaced by CO2) will go out.

What gases do candles give off when burning?

Air is mostly Nitrogen, but that is not the "burning" part; Oxygen is probably what you are looking for, as that is the part that helps the candle burn, without there would be no fire. Or maybe you are looking for Carbon dioxide, that is what burning candles (which are mostly carbon) produces. What gas causes a candle to burn? Oxygen. It is the oxygen in the atmosphere that chemically combines with the wax of the candle to give Carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. What does candle need from air to burn? A candle requires oxygen (O2) to continue its combustion reaction and produce CO2 and H2O.


How carbon dioxide burn?

What are the uses of a carbon dioxide gas jar?

Carbon dioxide gas jar is a jar used to grow culture media. It contains carbon dioxide taken from candle flames burn inside the jar. Bacteria and other microorganisms are grown in this jar for further observations.


Why do you think that candle with plant would burn for a longer time?

Candle burns oxygen. Plant produces oxygen from Carbon Dioxide. plant produces oxygen, which is burned by candle. Candle lasts longer because more oxygen is present


Why does a candle burn for a long time in a jar with no lid on?

the candle uses up the oxygen and in doing so creates carbon dioxide. Eventually there will be more carbon dioxide than oxygen and it will snuff out the flame


What is produced when a candle burn?

For the most part, the flame of a candle produces water and carbon dioxide. There aer a number of other substances also produced in small quantities, and these depend on the condition of the wick and the type of wax used. They can include carbon monoxide, carbon, and various organic compounds that turn to gas and fail to burn.
