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.
Why do candles go out when you put a beaker over it?
As we know that for an object or substance to burn, its by means of carbon. Fire is very complex and needs oxygen for it to burn so by putting a beaker over a candle you are actually cutting the consumption of oxygen by fire, which will stop the fire from burning. THAT ANSWER IS FALSE. Because the candle is under a beaker and most beakers have lips the beaker is not fully cut off from oxygen so there is still oxygen. The candle does go out because of the carbon dioxide that is in the beaker
What happens when you put salt on a burning candle?
nothing
What happens when you put a glass jar on a candle?
a flame needs oxygen to burn so if you put a lit candle in a closed container (like a jar) the oxygen will continue to fuel the fire until there is no more oxygen and the candle will go out
What happens to a wooden lolipop stick when it is put over a candle?
Well if you start to walk away about 7 min after you just left it there ( you walked away with the stick) well nothing would happen. If you put it too close to the candle well it will burn and if decide to stare at it wile holding it over the candle for round about.....uh..... 1-2 hours it would melt........wait a minute what happened to the tasty part of lolipop?

How to measure oxygen using a lit candle?
Remember the percentage of oxygen in the world today is 21%. Get a lit candle and put it on water. Then put a beaker over the lit candle. The water should rise and fill up to 21% of the candle as there is 21% of oxygen in the world.

What happens when you put a glass jar on a candle example?
the candle will go out because oxygen helps in burning but a burning substance produces carbon dioxide but when we put a glass upon can carbon will heavier than oxygen and when oxygen will less candle will go out
How do you remove candle wax from walls?
Put a cloth over the wax and use a hot iron over it.
What earth process would it be if you put your hand next to a candle flame it doesnt really hurt but if you put your hand directly above the flame you burn yourself?
The process of heat rising would be the earth process in force if a candle is touched on the side and it is cooler than a hand over the candle. The hand over the candle will get burned because of the direction of the heat of the flame.
Why is the base of a candle broader?
Stability, they fall over if you put the broad end up.
