Why would a candle burn longer in the open other than in a glass jar?
If the glass jar is sealed, there is a limited amount of oxygen within it. Fire uses oxygen to stay alive. Once it uses up the limited amount of oxygen in the glass jar, it can no longer sustain flame. However, in the open, there is a theoretically unlimited amount of oxygen.
When a candle burns wax undergoes a combustion reaction would a candle burn longer in the open or when covered with an inverted glass jar?
The candle burning in the open will burn longer, because it has easy access to oxygen to sustain the reaction. The flame of the candle burning under the jar will go out quickly, since it will use up its available oxygen faster than the oxygen can be replenished. Even if the jar is open at the bottom, the heat, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide produced by the flame will prevent sufficient oxygen from getting to the flame to feed it.
Will a candle burn longer in a large jar then a small jar?
Yes, a candle in a large jar will typically burn longer than a candle in a small jar. This is because the larger jar provides more oxygen for the flame, which helps the candle burn more efficiently. Additionally, the larger jar can contain more wax, extending the burn time.
Why does a candle go out when covered by a wide-mouthed jar?
When a wide-mouthed jar covers a candle, it creates a lack of oxygen inside the jar. The flame needs oxygen to burn, so when the oxygen supply is cut off, the flame extinguishes due to the lack of a crucial element for combustion.
Why are potassium sodium and lithium stored in a jar of oil and not in an empty jar?
Potassium, sodium, and lithium will rapidly react with air, ruining the sample and will react violently with water, creating a fire hazard. The oil keeps the metals out of contact with air and moisture.
What will happen if you put a jar over a burning candle?
If you place a jar over a burning candle, the flame will consume the oxygen inside the jar, causing it to extinguish due to lack of oxygen. The remaining air will become warmer and expand, creating a slight vacuum once the jar cools down.
What happen if a big and a small burning candle is covered with a big jar?
Once the oxygen was used up, both candles would go out.
A jar contains helium.What would happen if the lid of the jar was removed?
The helium, being lighter than air, would simply rise out of the jar.
What would happen if you lower a bell jar with the candle inside it withiut any air entering it?
As the candle burns, it consumes oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. If the bell jar is sealed, the oxygen inside gets used up and the candle flame will eventually extinguish once oxygen levels drop too low to sustain combustion. The remaining air will become enriched with carbon dioxide from the burning candle.
How does fire go out if its covered by a jar?
Fire requires oxygen to burn. No oxygen = no flame. When you put a flame in a jar it lives off the oxygen inside the jar for a while. Once you put a lid on the jar, eventually the jar will run out of oxygen and the flame will burn out.
When a glass jar is placed over a lighted candle the flame goes out why does its happen?
A flame uses oxygen in order to burn. By placing a jar over it, it limits the oxygen causing the flame to burn out. That is one reason house fires are dangerous, because fire burn oxygen and we need oxygen to breathe
What would happen to the shape of each substance if the jar were broken?
none
Why does a mouse under a jar die?
It dies because it will eventually use up all the oxygen in jar and no oxygen will be able to enter the jar.
What would happen if you lower a bell jar with the candle inside it without any air entering it?
it would burn out in few seconds. if you take away the air, you also take away the oxygen in it (the air). and fire need oxygen to burn. simple explanation (sorry for bad spelling, I'm danish)
What will happen when a jar of hydrogen is inverted on the jar if oxygen and the lid is removed?
The hydrogen will rise to the top of the jar since it is less dense than air. If a flame or spark is present, the hydrogen can ignite and possibly cause an explosion due to the reaction with oxygen in the air. It is important to handle flammable gases like hydrogen with caution.
What would happen if a jar loose fitting lid were placed in a freezer?
What's in the jar? If you mean water, the ice *should* extrude out of the jar a little way without bursting it.
What would happen if you were given a jar of gold?
i will give this those who have any problem in money
