Joseph Priestley used a candle and a plant under a bell jar to show that plants release oxygen, which is essential for combustion, allowing the candle to burn. This experiment demonstrated the process of photosynthesis, where plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen using light energy.

What type of energy does the steam in the electric plant have?
electric plants have electromagnetic energy
How is plant load factor in solar power plants?
Plant load is a factor in every energy plant. In the case of solar power plants, the plant load factor is at an average of 75%. This means 25% of the time, optimum operation is not utilized. This number has to be compared with start up costs, operating costs and income generated to determine the feasibility of conversion to solar energy.
How many power plants can be replaced by a nuclear power plant?
It all depends on the size of the two types of plants ... but on average it would be one for one.
Why is pollen able to float in air?
because of the wind it blows from the plant do not laugh but it is also basically plant sperm and if it did not go into the air there would be no more flowers and other plants
How efficient are conventional power plants?
Efficiency of power plants is usually measured as a ratio of the total amount of electrical power produced divided by the total amount of heat generated, expressed as a percentage. Thus, if a power plant produces 100 MWh thermal, and this is converted to 38 MWh of electricity, the plant is 38% efficient. Most power plants are 35% to 40% efficient. This is true for nuclear as well as fossil fuel plants. Some plants are much more efficient. A natural gas plant, used in a situation with cogeneration, can be as much as 65% efficient. The lost heat is put into the environment and is referred to as thermal pollution.

Is a candle made from a plant?
Candles can be crafted from plant-based waxes, with soy wax and beeswax being two popular examples. Soy wax is derived from soybean oil, providing a renewable and eco-friendly option. Beeswax, produced by honeybees, offers a natural and pleasant honey-like aroma. Both soy wax and beeswax candles are considered environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional paraffin wax candles due to their cleaner burning properties and biodegradability.

How do you get candle wax off plants?
what you do is you boil a plant and the wax rises to the surface of the water
How would you prove a plant produces oxygen?
place 2-3 plants with dense leaves in a closed glass chamber with a lighted candle. the candle will light longer than wothout plants
How does a candle produce light?
A candle is a source of light, and sometimes a source of heat, consisting of a solid block of fuel (commonly wax) and an embedded wick. Today, most candles are made from paraffin. Candles can also be made from beeswax, soy and other plant waxes, and tallow (a by-product of beef-fat rendering). Gel candles are made from a mixture of paraffin and plastic.
Why is a candle a compound?
The body of the candle is either paraffin (a petroleum fraction) or tallow (a type of beef fat), some candles now use fats extracted from soybeans. The wick is usually plant fibers (polysaccharides like cellulose).
Is candle wax made out of a plant?
Nope... most candle waxes are made from petroleum byproducts -mixed with natural beeswax.
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
What color candles last longer?
White candles. The colour of the candle doesn't matter, only the dye in the wax only has a change of seconds. The only properties that really matter are the composition or type of wax (paraffyn, beeswax, plant waxes,...), also its thickness and lenght.
Do plants have heart?
A plant does not have a heart but, it has something inside of a plant that's almost like a heart.
Would a large plant and a burning candle placed under a bell jar will the candle burn the plant because of the plant is giving off carbon dioxide?
The candle will burn BUT it is because the plant is giving off OXYGEN and is TAKING IN carbon dioxide.
Can a plant grown in candle light?
no
